SwRI receives $1.8M DOE award to develop linear motor reciprocating compressor for hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Compression is a major contributor to the cost of hydrogen fueling. The contract is one of 10 awarded by DOE for projects that will advance hydrogen production and delivery technologies for this fuel source. Consumer vehicles will likely require gaseous hydrogen compressed to 70 MPa to meet acceptable range targets.)

Review paper: Graphene and related materials (GRMs) may play major role in energy applications

Green Car Congress

The combination of chemical functionalization and curvature control also opens new opportunities for hydrogen storage. MXene sheets are promising for energy applications, such as lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen storage. For hydrogen storage, the challenge is to achieve a gravimetric storage of 5.5%.
