With the nanodots in place, the material had a four-fold higher electrical storage capacity than the original MXene and almost reached the theoretical maximum capacity of graphite. This could help to develop a new generation of rechargeable batteries that use cheaper and more abundant metals than lithium, for example.

Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

JUNE 27, 2023

Rechargeable batteries store electricity in their electrode materials, while redox flow batteries use chemicals stored in tanks attached to the electrodes. Researchers have now developed a battery system based on a hybrid cell, which not only stores and provides electricity but also produces valuable chemicals in a flow system.

Daimler Buses introduces Citaro hybrid bus; available on diesel and gas models; separate 48V network

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 19, 2017

The electric motor on the Citaro hybrid assists the combustion engine when high levels of power are required, particularly when moving off. Instead, the electric motor reduces the burden on the engine while also improving the vehicle’s start-off characteristics. These electricity storage units are characterized by a high power density.

The electric road ahead for heavy trucks is not exactly clear, and there are several roadblocks, some obvious and some far less so. Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Soon they won’t have a choice.

MARCH 17, 2009

Batteries, particularly lithium-ion, store large amounts of energy but have more difficulty with high power or fast recharge. Electrostatic capacitors are characterized by high power but energy storage is limited because only surface charge is used. Our primary target is as part of a hybrid battery-capacitor system for electric cars.
