Advanced Batteries & Energy Storage ResearchFeb 20, 2019Storage of solar energy and wind power in metal powderHydrogen researchers are involved in a large European project on hydrogen storage. The goal is to develop a novel prototype tank that will store at least 50 kilograms of hydrogen in a minimum space. The European Union is funding the project with €2 million in the frame of the "Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking - FCH JU". Some €150,000 are earmarked for the Helmholtz researchers.
Advanced Batteries & Energy Storage ResearchFeb 20, 2019Structural super capacitors prepare for take offAs their name suggests, such multifunctional structural materials simultaneously carry out two or more functions that would normally have to be addressed separately. For example, a structural role might combine with optical, electrical, magnetic or thermal properties. In some cases, entire complex devices can be built either within or from the primary structural material.

Advanced Batteries & Energy Storage ResearchFeb 11, 2019Iron-platinum catalyst keeps fuel cells clean, even in cold weatherBatteries are currently outpacing fuel cells in the technological race to power the electric vehicle. Lithium batteries keep getting cheaper, while fuel cells remain hampered by pricey, short-lived platinum catalysts. Researchers suggest that adding a bit more platinum—albeit in a novel form—could help fuel cell cars catch up.
Advanced Batteries & Energy Storage ResearchFeb 8, 2019Dilemma of Automotive Vertical IntegrationIt is a rule-of-thumb that manufacturers should vertically integrate only when products and markets mature, so they can confidently shave off the last pennies of cost. One exception is when shortages loom: Tesla built its battery gigafactory fast using proven Panasonic technology. However, many suppliers now build battery gigafactories.
