Toho Tenax Co. Ltd., the core company of the Teijin Group's carbon fibers business, announced today that it has developed a gas diffusion layer (GDL) made of a carbon fiber fabric for use as an electrode component for fuel cells. The new GDL will be marketed from late September.
A hydrogen-powered electric bicycle prototype has been developed by researchers at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Hydrogen South Africa (HySA). Known as A Hi Fambeni (“Let’s go” in Tsonga), the bicycle contains fuels cells that create a clean source of power by combining oxygen and heat.
Inc. magazine has ranked Northeast Ohio-based Catacel Corporation No. 2709 on its fourth annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
The era of personalized energy systems — in which individual homes and small businesses produce their own energy for heating, cooling and powering cars — took another step toward reality today as scientists reported discovery of a powerful new catalyst that is a key element in such a system.
NexTech Materials, Ltd., has signed an agreement with Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited to commercially offer protective interconnect coating solutions based on CFCL’s patented formulations. SOFC developers and integrators can now obtain form NexTech an integrated solution combining CFCL’s patented interconnect coating technology and NexTech’s materials synthesis and deposition expertise.
A surprising MIT laboratory finding about the behavior of a thin sheet of material — less than a thousandth of the thickness of a human hair — could lead to improved ways of studying the behavior of electrodes and perhaps ultimately to improvements in the rate of power production from one type of fuel cell, according to a report published this week.
Long hampered by high manufacturing costs and durability issues, fuel cell technology could overcome those obstacles and take a significant step towards mainstream adoption thanks to a finding by a Texas A+M University chemical engineering professor.
The European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Commission today honoured the winners of the European Inventor Award 2010 at a gala ceremony in Madrid under the presidency of their Royal Highnesses Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Asturias.
In a breakthrough that should help to solve one of the biggest problems holding back development of affordable fuel cells, a team of University of Massachusetts Amherst scientists has discovered a way to improve proton conductivity under very low humidity conditions, where few materials perform well at present.
On Earth Day, April 22, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) will showcase its microbial fuel cell, which is a device that produces electricity from decomposed marine organisms. The presentation will be held at the Pentagon.
