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

Green Car Congress

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.

UTSA, SwRI collaborate to make more efficient storage materials for hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and Southwest Research Institute are collaborating to improve storage materials for hydrogen fuels with a hybrid metal-carbon microstructure that combines both chemical and physical hydrogen storage mechanisms. This process uses less energy than it takes to power an incandescent light bulb.

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. A promising way of storing solar energy is via chemical fuels, in particular hydrogen as it is considered as a future energy carrier. —Pawar and Tahir. Govinder S.
