Creating High-Powered Fuel Cells For Drones and Submersibles
Scientists from McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University have created a new type of high-power fuel cell.
Hybrid System Combines Gasification with Fuel Cells
At the bottom, steam (pink arrows) passes through pulverized coal, releasing gaseous fuel (red arrows) made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This fuel goes into a solid oxide fuel cell (disks near top), whe... Read More...
New Imaging Shows why Solid-State Batteries Degrade
There is great potential for solid-state batteries to be a new lightweight, long-lasting power source for consumer electronics such as smart phones. Unlike typical lithium-ion batteries which contain liquid ele... Read More...
Engineers Produce Electricity from Jet Fuel Without High Heat
Converting jet fuel into electricity has been a challenge for engineers using traditional methods because jet fuel contains sulfur that weakens metal catalysts used to oxide the fuel in standard fuel cells.... Read More...
