A new, simpler power module and manifold design shows lower weight and volume, which allows higher power density compared with current state of the art.
Wind or hydro power are predominantly large-scale with giant generators to convert wind or water captured by turbines into electricity. But residential-sized wind turbines could generate power for a whole house.
There is a strong drive to improve the electrical performance of a power module for power electronics applications including transportation, buildings, renewables, and power delivery.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid membrane to improve electrochemical stability in next-generation sodium metal anodes.
Free-standing, thin films were fabricated with a binder resulting in nearly an order of magnitude thickness decrease while increasing porosity and activation energy. These effects of such diminished significantly. Free-standing films could be fabricated with a binder.
This technology creates a light and metalless current collector for battery application. Cathodes coated on this new current collector demonstrated similar contact resistance, lower charge transfer resistance and similar or high rate performance.
