- Preparation of a catalyst ink for manufacturing a catalyst coated membrane (CCM)This patent application from Temasek Polytechnic looks to overcome problems with the existing methods for preparation of a catalyst coated membrane (CCM).
- Electrode for fuel cell comprising non-platinum catalyst and graphene layered structure, and membrane-electrode assembly comprising sameThis patent application from Kolon refers to a non-platinum catalyst system from a PEM fuel cell. The electrode for a fuel cell of the present invention has a structure in which a catalyst layer and a graphene layer are stacked and alternately laminated, and the conductive polymer is intended to improve the catalyst efficiency by limiting the transition metal particle size.
- Proton Conductive MaterialThis application from Toyota looks to overcome the need for humidification for proton conductive materials. The degree to which this was achieved was tested by immersing in water at 80°C for 1 hour, air drying for 4 days and vacuum drying for a further 24 hours, then weighing the sample.
- Kaijin Energy Technology Co Ltd Sodium Ion Battery TechnologyKaijin Energy Technology Co Ltd based in Dongguan, China, was founded in March 2012. It is a high-tech enterprise in China specialising in R&D, production, and sales of anode materials for mobility, energy storage and portable electronics.
- DSM Patents High Performance Silver-Free PV Back LayerDSM, HQ Neerlen, Netherlands has a patent family relating to production of an electro-conductive back-sheet comprising either pure copper or a copper-aluminium metal layer for a photovoltaic (solar) cell.
- EnabledFuture: Metal Recovery in Photovoltaic ModulesSolar power is playing a major role in the global renewable energy transition with new capacity installations accounting for more than all other renewable technologies in 2021 combined. (Solar Power Europe, 2022) However, the success of solar comes with a dark side – the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules is forecasted to result in 78 million tonnes of module waste in landfill by 2050.
