Dr. Guijarro has devloped a facile and scalable method to prepare (Cu(In,Ga)S2) photocathodes and demonstrated their state-of-the-art performance for Solar Hydrogen production. The results have been plublished in Advanced Energy Materials.
A research group at France's National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon (INSA de Lyon) have discovered a technique to improve the mechanical energy harvesting performance potential of smart materials called, "electrostrictive polymers."
A long-standing controversy of fuel cell catalysts has recently been solved by a research team from the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba.
Lithium-air batteries can store electricity up to five times that of the more common lithium-ion batteries, but they have their shortcomings. Researchers working at the University of Illinois, Chicago, have developed a prototype that is energized by a surprising chemical reaction, which can solve the lithium-air batteries biggest drawback.
A lithium-ion battery capable of self heating even if the temperature is less than 32°F can prove to be comforting as it could relieve winter "range anxiety" for owners of electric vehicles, according to a research team from Penn State and EC Power, State College. This self-heating battery also has a wide range of applications.
The W.M. Keck Foundation has awarded a $1 million grant to Lehigh to study and discover the mechanisms that govern anti-thermal processes that appear to reverse nature.
Although compressed natural gas represents a cleaner and more efficient fuel for vehicles, its volatile nature requires a reinforced, heavy tank that stores the gas at high pressure and therefore limits vehicle design. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering are utilizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to develop a new type of storage system that would adsorb the gas like a sponge and allow for more energy-efficient storage and use.
Cornell engineering professor Huili (Grace) Xing and her research team aim to be successful in making smaller switches perform large jobs in a more efficient way than currently possible.
A team of investigators led by Dreamweaver International has investigated the effects of heat and nail penetration on lithium ion cells by performing autopsies on cells post-test. The investigators found that conventional separators shrink, melt, crack, split and burn under extreme conditions, while separators made of more thermally stable materials show much less damage, and in some cases none of these effects.
Imagine if your clothing could, on demand, release just enough heat to keep you warm and cozy, allowing you to dial back on your thermostat settings and stay comfortable in a cooler room. Or, picture a car windshield that stores the sun’s energy and then releases it as a burst of heat to melt away a layer of ice.
