Ceramic cells are the key to a new, non-electric reactor-based system for producing hydrogen from biogas, RNG, and industrial waste gases.
A new solid state battery teams a US startup with a centuries-old ceramics firm for next generation energy storage.
Although much of the discourse on reducing vehicle emissions centers on electric vehicles (EV), their sales remain low — with EV vehicles accounting for a mere 1% of car purchases in Japan in 2021. Meanwhile, the European Union is expected to pass stricter emission standards in the near future. This … [continued]
Sakuu and NGK has signed a collaboration agreement that will leverage NGK’s 80 years of experience with ceramics.
University of Michigan researchers lay out hurdles for tech that could double EV range.
Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems in Dresden, Germany, says it has developed new technology in the lab that could increase electric car range to 1,000 kilometers or more. The secret? More batteries in the same space. Ceramics play a large part in the process. In a conventional battery pack, the individual battery cells are surrounded by a separate outer casing. All those casings take up half of the space inside each battery pack. The connections to each cell are points where electrical resistance is high, reducing available power.
Originally published on EV Obsession. A total of $6.6 million in new funding has been awarded by ARPA-E to two projects currently working to develop manufacturing techniques for ceramic electrolytes for solid-state electric vehicle batteries, as part of a new 2015 OPEN funding round. The new round is seeing $125 … [continued]
Hydrogen may soon become far easier (and safer) to store, thanks to the development of a new class of ceramic materials by researchers at the University of California, San Diego. The new materials are composed of a mixture of calcium hexaboride, strontium, and barium hexaboride — this is the first … [continued]
A new super-strong ceramic material — inspired by the mother-of-pearl created by the single-shelled marine mollusks known as abalones — has been created by a team of researchers led by the Laboratoire de Synthèse et Fonctionnalisation des Céramiques. This new “artificial mother-of-pearl” is considerably less prone to fracture than conventional … [continued]
