Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have developed an improved catalyst for the synthesis of ammonia by taking the common dehydrating agent calcium hydride and adding fluoride to it. The catalyst facilitates the synthesis of ammonia at merely 50 °C, with an extremely small activation energy of 20 kJmol -1 —less than half that reported for conventional catalysts, said Dr.

According to the YouTube channel ‘ Military Power ‘, the U. S. Army is looking for a JLTV-EV (Electric version of it’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle). The benefits are obvious…no need to cross enemy lines or put soldiers in danger to get fuel. Recharging EV’s behind enemy lines could happen via solar panels, portable nuclear reactors as well as other means depending on the location.

Top fuel drag racing is popular across the globe and it's not hard to see why. Outrageous 8000bhp, nitro-powered dragsters can hit close to 400mph in a quarter of a mile, and watching them is something of a full body, physical experience. But it's also a sport that lends itself to EVs, and bit-by-bit, electric drag racing is catching on, with Ford even launching a purpose-built EV Mustang dragster.

Silicon is an appealing anode material for Li-ion batteries because it can hold about 10 times the electrical charge per gram compared to graphite. However, silicon suffers from large volume change during lithiation/delithiation, leading to structure failure. Although nanostructured Si can mitigate that structure failure, nanomaterials, with their high surface area and low tap density, can be detrimental for both their electrochemical performance and practical manufacturing.
