Super Sensitive Sensor For The Detection Of Hydroxyl Free Radicals in PEM Fuel Cells

Project ID: D2020-04 Background: Owing to increased threat to the environment, the market for eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is expected to hit $42 billion by 2026. However, concerns over the degradation of the current fuel cell technology is one of the biggest shortcomings. The durability issue persists in the ion exchange membrane that...

Hybrid Electric Vehicle Energy Storage System

Project ID: ENG00204 Novelty: This invention provides both a combined battery/ultracapacitor energy storage system and battery chargers associated with these systems. First, it combines an ultracapacitor with a battery to optimally power both high current surges and more constant demands. The ultracapacitor provides the high current power, thereby...

Functionally graded graphene transient electronics

Project ID: D2018-22 Every year, 42 million tons of electronic waste pollute our planet. The industry is urgently seeking eco-friendly solutions that minimize environmental impact without sacrificing performance. Enter transient electronics, devices designed to disappear safely after use. Current approaches rely on costly, multi-step processes...

A Bi-level Equalizer for Battery Cell Charge Management

Project ID: D2016-41 Background: Lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles (EV) begin to degrade much faster after the capacity drops below about 80%, and manufacturers recommend that they be replaced at about this point. However, these batteries still have adequate capacity for other applications, and it is expected that vast numbers will soon...
