Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Wide-scale utilization of flow batteries is, however, limited by the abundance and cost of these materials, particularly those using redox-active metals and precious-metal electrocatalysts. But until now, flow batteries have relied on chemicals that are expensive or hard to maintain, driving up the cost of storing energy. Background.

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

The CNT wool process builds on earlier work by Professor Licht and his team to develop a one-pot process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis: C2CNT (CO 2 into carbon nanotubes). This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity.

Parallel Systems raises $50M Series A to build autonomous battery-electric rail cars that move freight

Green Car Congress

million in Series A funds to build autonomous battery-electric rail vehicles that move freight. The funds will be used to build a fleet of rail vehicles, execute advanced testing programs and grow the team. Less energy means smaller batteries, less strain on the grid, and lower charging infrastructure costs.

PNNL licenses three technologies via Startup America; batteries, fuel cells and buildings

Green Car Congress

optioned a PNNL-developed method for building titanium oxide and carbon structures that greatly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. The optioned technology reduces the cost of manufacturing the fuel cells by up to one-third without decreasing overall performance, and improves stability and life of the fuel cell.
