EPFL team develops low-cost water splitting cell with solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 12.3%

Green Car Congress

Michael Grätzel at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland has developed a highly efficient and low-cost water-splitting cell combining an advanced perovskite tandem solar cell and a bi-functional Earth-abundant catalyst. Splitting water requires an applied voltage of at least 1.23 V and up to 1.5

Year-long testing of Leclanché 60 Ah G/NMC cells shows high energy density, high cycle life

Green Car Congress

V reaching 10% capacity increase in comparison to a standard G/NMC cell resulting in lower cost of installed battery pack (euros per kWh) for EV-applications. Cell assembly starts with the electrode manufacturing exclusively using a water-based binder (WBB) process in an eco-friendly environment.

Hyundai Motor accelerates hydrogen technology development through 3 strategic investments

Green Car Congress

Our investment in these innovative companies will reduce the production cost of FCEVs and enhance the safety and affordability of hydrogen infrastructure. H2Pro is an Israeli startup that developed the E-TAC (electrochemical, thermally active chemical) water splitting technology, which is efficient, affordable, and safe.

New diamine-appended MOFs can capture CO2 for half or less of the energy cost of current materials

Green Car Congress

Power plants that capture CO 2 today use an older technology whereby flue gases are bubbled through organic amines in water, where the carbon dioxide binds to amines. Because MOFs are solid, the process also saves the energy costs of heating the water in which amines are dissolved.

The Franche-Comté region borders on Switzerland, with the Vosges mountains to the north and the Jura to the south.). The bipolar plates in hydrogen fuel cells regulate gas and water circulation as well as the collection of electrical current. Cell assembly is also simplified, lowering the cost of mass production by more than 50%.

Linc Energy taking stake in aboveground gasification company; potential CTL introduction in US

Green Car Congress

Linc says the Pyromex process produces good quality syngas with almost no CO 2 gas emissions, and without the need for the consumption of high volumes of water or power. Additionally, the process does not utilize oxygen injection, which means there is no need for a large air separation unit (oxygen production facility).
