High-Energy Batteries Coming to Market Rechargeable zinc-air batteries can store three times the energy of a lithium-ion battery. Material to Chill "Dirty" Fuel Cells A new anode allows solid-oxide fuel cells to function at lower temperatures. A Liquid Design for Cheaper Fuel Cells A platinum-free liquid cathode could cut fuel-cell costs by 40 percent. Inside Toyota's R & D Strategy A veteran executive describes multiple research efforts on clean vehicles. A cheap polymer material increases the power output of methanol fuel cells by 50 percent. Hydrogen Fuel from Formic Acid A simple new process generates hydrogen for fuel cells. A new method for making ultrathin materials could lead to better fuel cells. A Better Way to Make Hydrogen? A Purdue researcher claims aluminum alloys could make fuel-cell vehicles practical. Practical Fuel Cells for Electronics A novel design could allow laptops to run 5 to 10 times longer. Ultrastrong Paper from Graphene A new paperlike material could lead to novel types of light and flexible materials. Supplying the World's Energy Needs with Light and Water A leading chemist says that a better understanding of photosynthesis could lead to cheap ways to store solar energy as chemical fuel. The flexible electric car platform is innovative, but the fuel-cell version is freighted with hydrogen's flaws. The automaker tries again, announcing an electric-drive system that can be paired with gasoline generators or fuel cells. [1]
