Researchers at Cornell University have developed a method of reusing old electric vehicle batteries for renewable energy storage. Cornell University researchers, partially funded by the US National Science Foundation, have published a study outlining a novel technique that repurposes old...

Zhenxing Feng, Oregon State University’s chemical engineering professor, led the research into the design of catalysts and has shown how clean hydrogen production can be completed with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than commercially available catalysts. How is...

Professor Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford recently conducted a study assessing the realism of grid stability under which wind, water, and solar energy resources power 100% of United States (US) energy, for all purposes.   The study  For this study, Jacobson and...

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) create a replica small-scale power grid in order to analyse how synchronous machines and grid-forming converters are affected by voltage stability. Large power stations with synchronous generators provide stability in...

Zhenzing Feng of Oregon State College of Engineering contributed to the development of a catalyst known as direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFC). Alternative-energy research at Oregon State University is charting a path toward the mass adoption of clean cars powered...

Dr Ryan M Paul, Graffin Lecturer for 2021 for the American Carbon Society, details the development of graphite in batteries during the last 125 years. Carbon materials have been a crucial component of battery technology for over 125 years. One...

New rare earth element separation technology provides insight into how to cost-effective separate in-demand rare-earth elements can be, dramatically shifting the industry to benefit producers in the United States. A new technology for rare-earth elements chemical separation has been licensed...

Steve Promnitz, Managing Director at Lake Resources, highlights the challenges facing the lithium sector for batteries and EVs and how the company’s flagship Kachi cleaner Lithium Brine Project can provide solutions. Growth has been exponential in electric vehicles and new...

Researchers achieve a microscopic understanding of solvation structures involved with transporting aqueous Li-ion batteries, revealing heterogeneity in the super concentrated water-in-salt electrolytes. Lithium-ion batteries are infamous for being a fire hazard due to their highly flammable organic electrolytes. As a...
