Existing hydrogen vehicles are equipped with a reinforced tank that is fueled at a pressure of 700 bar. This tank feeds a fuel cell that converts the hydrogen into [...]
BP and Chevron have invested in Eavor Technologies Inc., an innovative technology company that (finally) may help drive the future of geothermal energy. The funds will be [...]
Australian electricity distributor CitiPower and the Yarra Energy Foundation (YEF) hope to unlock the potential of community-scale battery storage in the Melbourne city [...]
Most rechargeable batteries are lithium-ion batteries made from relatively scarce elements including precious metals like cobalt. Worldwide lithium reserves themselves are [...]
RICHLAND, Wash.—A promising technology under development by major battery makers has become even more attractive, thanks to researchers who have taken an unprecedented [...]
Adding polymers and fireproofing to a battery’s current collectors makes it lighter, safer and about 20% more efficient. In an entirely new approach to making lithium-ion [...]
By Dr. Xiaoxi He Most current lithium-ion technologies employ liquid electrolyte, with lithium salts such as LiPF6, LiBF4 or LiClO4 in an organic solvent. However, the solid [...]
Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, used in numerous applications such as cell phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But they are made from materials, such as cobalt and [...]
While energy sources such as wind and solar are great at producing emissions-free electricity, they depend on the sun and the wind, so supply doesn’t always meet the [...]
Most of us have probably not thought about cracking the code of “traffic management” inside a lithium ion battery. But a team of researchers at Brookhaven [...]
