Exeter team develops low-cost photoelectrode for spontaneous water-splitting using sunlight

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Exeter (UK) have developed a novel p-type LaFeO 3 photoelectrode using an inexpensive and scalable spray pyrolysis method. The researchers believe this new type of photoelectrode is not only cheap to produce, but can also be recreated on a larger scale for mass and worldwide use. —Pawar and Tahir.

Remembering the Legacy of Trailblazing Technologist Gordon Moore

Cars That Think

His original hypothesis, published in a 1965 Electronics magazine article , was that the number of transistors would double each year. From researcher to entrepreneur Moore received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1950 from the University of California, Berkeley. His projection came true over the decade that followed.

Who Really Invented the Thumb Drive?

Cars That Think

In 2000, at a trade fair in Germany, an obscure Singapore company called Trek 2000 unveiled a solid-state memory chip encased in plastic and attached to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. Computer users badly needed a cheap, high-capacity, reliable, portable storage device. It was called the ThumbDrive.

Thanks to the work of the Club 100 user group , I was able to tap into a universe of software written for the Model 100 (also known as the M100). I was able to identify the faulty component, and rather than attempt to find a new replacement, I bought a cheap, broken M100 that was being sold for parts on eBay.

OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel strategy to improve the efficiency and performance of non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-air) batteries. On charging, the photoelectrode and Li anode are connected to the outside circuit; on discharging, the oxygen electrode and Li anode are connected to the outside circuit. (b)

Why are some EV chargers more expensive than others?

Green Charging

We do not want to waste money on cheap, low-quality commodities. Do not fear, in this article, we discuss why some EV chargers are more low-priced than others. These chargers only require a single-phase connection. However if the property is fitted with a 3-phase connection type, then chargers up to 22kW become available.
