Paving the Way for Flexible Solar Cells
At the EU PVSEC conference, imec presented a thin-film tandem solar cell consisting of a top perovskite cell developed by imec within the partnerships of EnergyVille and Solliance, and a bottom CIGS cell from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research. The tandem cell resulting from this collaboration achieves a record efficiency of 24.6 percent.
Will cars eventually run on water?
An Australian-Israeli startup has found a way to use water in order to power Electric Vehicles (EVs). On October 29th and October 30th at EcoMotion 2018 ‘Smart Mobility Summit’ in Tel-Aviv, Electriq~Global presented its highly efficient, safe, clean, recyclable fuel to power EVs. The fuel offers twice the range, at half the price with zero emission compared to existing fuels.
Hydrogen fuel cell powertrain concept
Within its multi-power source offering strategy, FPT Industrial is working to develop Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology. It represents a Research and Development project that in the future could lead to new zero emissions solutions specially designed for heavy duty transport, both long haulage goods delivery and long-distance / intercity passenger transport.
Patrolling robots to destroy petrol plant explosions
Autonomous robots fitted with tiny chemical sensors that listen to the ‘sounds’ coming off gases will instantly detect gas leaks in petrochemical plants and pipelines to dramatically improve disaster responses.The risk of a petrol plant explosion or a potential disaster on an oil refinery could be dramatically reduced thanks to a new generation of tiny chemical sensors that use light and sound to ‘listen to’ gas leaks.
UL 1203 Certified Epoxy
Master Bond EP41S-6 is a new two component epoxy system that meets UL 1203, which is defined by Underwriters Laboratories as the “Standard for Explosion-Proof and Dust-Ignition-Proof Electrical Equipment for Use in Hazardous (Classified) Locations”. To meet the UL 1203 requirements, samples of EP41S-6 were exposed to saturated vapors in air for the following chemicals: acetic acid (glacial), acetone, ammonium hydroxide (20% by weight)...
Nano-molecule storage could charge EVs in seconds
An energy storage system proposed by chemists from the University of Glasgow, could reduce the charging time of EVs from hours to seconds.
Extended portfolio of optical fibres
LASER COMPONENTS has extended its portfolio of Fibercore products to include single- mode fibres with wavelengths from 488nm to 1625nm. Many varieties are covered: for example, single-mode fibres with an ultra-low profile or large NA for improved bending resistance. Some types have a high germanium content and thus intrinsic photosensitivity for writing fibre Bragg gratings without further hydrogen passivation.
Hydrogen dual-fuel vehicle makes cleaner deliveries for Ocado
The company pioneering the adoption of ultra-low emission hydrogen fuelled commercial vehicles in the UK, ULEMCo hasdelivered the first hydrogen dual-fuel van to online supermarket Ocado. The vehicle is part of a wider programme to evaluate the use of ULEMCo’s cleaner vehicles for the Ocado fleet.
Automation helps drive sustainability in zero-emissions vessel
The world’s first vessel powered by hydrogen and renewable energy, the Energy Observer, is on a six-year trip around the world to prove a potential energy system of the future. Rockwell Automation has become an official supplier and service provider for this project, providingautomation systemsthat help power the vessel, which operates with zero greenhouse gasses or fine-particle emissions.
Keep on trucking with zero carbon hydrogen fuel
Hydrogen fuel pioneer, ULEMCo will hit the roads later this year with a converted VOLVO FH16 vehicle that uses a combustion engine powered entirely by zero carbon hydrogen fuel.
