Sigma-Aldrich and Ilika Technologies collaborate to scale-up and commercialize boron hydride hydrogen-storage materials

Green Car Congress

To be economically viable, the target weight percentage of hydrogen stored in such a material has been set at 6% by the US Department of Energy. weight% of hydrogen; the hydride materials being verified and scaled-up by Aldrich Materials Science can potentially store up to 10 weight% of hydrogen, reversibly, the company says.

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. What if there were a tanker crash or a pipeline rupture?

Six Technology Innovations in Electric Vehicle Charging

Driivz

The idea of using the energy stored in EV batteries for other purposes started with vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Instead of generating more power during peak times, utilities would purchase stored energy from EV owners and distribute it over the grid. During non-peak times, the EVs would draw energy for recharging. Vehicle-to-X (V2X).

EV Range Confidence – Charged and Ready

Blink Charging

Most manufacturers provide battery warranties lasting seven or eight years, assuring consumers that EV batteries are expected to last. In recent years, alternative battery technologies, such as sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, have emerged as potentially transformative. Trust in the EV network is on the rise.
