A Cheaper Efficient Water Splitting System Design
April 8, 2020 | Leave a Comment
A Washington State University team has developed a less expensive water electrolysis system that works under alkaline conditions but still produces hydrogen at comparable rates to the currently used system that works under acidic conditions and requires precious metals. This advance brings down the cost of water splitting technology, offering a more viable way to […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) scientists found that a change in chemical composition enabled a boost the longevity and efficiency of a perovskite solar cell. The new formula enabled the solar cell to resist a stability problem that has so far thwarted the commercialization of perovskites. The […]

Ways to Improve Thermoelectric Performance Explored
April 2, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Osaka University researchers have found that thermoelectric power generators lose a great deal of their possible output power because of thermal and electrical contact resistance. Improving this limitation will help society power interconnected technologies of the future. Interconnected healthcare and many other future applications will require internet connectivity between billions of sensors. The devices that […]

University of California – San Diego nanoengineers have developed a safety feature that prevents lithium metal batteries from rapidly overheating and catching fire in case of an internal short circuit. The clever tweak does not prevent battery failure, but rather provides advance warning of failure and makes it much safer. The team made a clever […]
