Researchers in Belgium develop new class of solid composite electrolytes for Li-ion batteries: Eutectogels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Hasselt University in Belgium are proposing a new class of solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) for Li-ion batteries: deep eutectic solvent (DES)–silica composites. In recent years, the concept of solid composite electrolyte (SCE) has aroused considerable interest in the battery community. Silica) or hybrid (e.g.,

MIT team develops first supercapacitor made entirely from neat MOFs, without conductive additives or binders

Green Car Congress

Conventional MOFs exhibit surface areas exceeding 7,000m 2 g −1 , yet their use in EDLCs has been limited as precursors/templates for carbons (via pyrolysis), or as hybrid composites with conductive additives such as graphene, because their electrical conductivity is typically much lower than that of graphitic carbons. —Mircea Dincă.

2025 Lancia Ypsilon HF electric hot hatch signals Italian brand’s return to rallying roots

EV Central

2024 Lancia Ypsilon set to become a MINI Electric fighter That’s a big boost on the regular EV’s 115kW/260Nm output, although the faster version is believed to share the standard 51kWh battery that provides a range up to 400km and can be topped up from 20-80 per cent in a claimed 25 minutes. Instead, the race car is powered by a 1.2-litre

Van Hool wins EU funding for 21 fuel cell buses; powered by Ballard FCvelocity-HD7 modules

Green Car Congress

Van Hool is a Belgium-based independent bus, coach and industrial vehicle OEM. The module will also utilize fuel cell stacks manufactured through a high-volume, low-cost process. Ballard anticipates receipt of purchase orders under the ESA that will lead to delivery of these fuel cell modules to Van Hool in 2015 and 2016.
