WSU team develops highly-efficient, low-cost nickel-iron nanofoam for OER for water splitting

Green Car Congress

By in situ reduction of the metal precursors, the researchers synthesized compositionally controlled three-dimensional Ni x Fe y nanofoams (NFs) with high surface area and uniformly distributed bimetallic networks. However, the scarce resource and prohibitive cost of these precious metals hurdle their further commercial applications.

Update on Select Argonne Lab Activity with HEV and PHEV Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

Lithium titanate offers low cost of production; outstanding safety (no lithium plating and limited reactivity with the electrolyte); long calendar life and excellent cycle life characteristics; and improved low-temperature performance. XRD of new Argonne nano-Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 spinel. Ni 0.175 Co 0.10 F 0.05 (ANLCC).

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. In 2015 we demonstrated that specific transition metals at the cathode, such as Ni, Co, Cu and Fe, act as nucleation points for high yield carbon nanotube growth in molten carbonates. Addition of BaCO 3 increases electrolyte density.

Further, alloying or coating pathways towards low-cost, effective passive films, have not been sufficiently explored in a sound and scientific way. These capacitors must meet demanding performance targets while achieving significant reductions in cost to meet future commercial demands. Characteristics.
