Ultra Lightweight High Pressure Hydrogen Fuel Tanks Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes
SBC: APPLIED NANOTECH, INC. Topic: 03aOne effective way to lower the weight, thus decreasing the carbon fiber usage and lowering the cost, of a CFRP tank is to improve the mechanical properties of the CFRP composite resin matrix using nano-reinforcement. Using the resin matrix itself as a source of composite strength, along with the carbon fiber reinforcement, results in a tank that requires less carbon fiber material. This solution d ...

Acid-Base Blend Membranes for Redox Flow Batteries
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 19aRedox flow batteries (RFBs) have the potential for economical storage of electrical energy than other battery chemistries. They use high-cost ion exchange membranes as separators between anolyte and catholyte, which prevent broad market penetration. Proton exchange membranes (e.g., Nafion) are poorly selective, allowing undesired cross-diffusion of active species in solution electrolytes across t ...
