Global energy demand is rising due to the rapid development and adoption of new technologies in every sector. Hence, there a need introduce clean source that does not cause damage environment. Aluminium-air battery with its high theoretical specific volumetric capacity an exciting alternative for post-lithium storage has been at forefront research years. However, conventional aqueous electrolyt...

We assess the economic value of life-cycle air emissions and oil consumption from conventional vehicles, hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles in the US. We find that plug-in vehicles may reduce or increase externality costs relative to grid-independent HEVs, depending largely on greenhouse gas and SO(2) emissions produced durin...

Abstract There is one component that virtually any embedded wearable needs—a power source. This paper proposes an energy source, which contains no harmful substances, can be stored in a stand-by dry state for indefinite time period, flexible and has tactile characteristics similar to of textile. The main feature this source the separation electrolyte electrodes—the applied only when battery nee...

The open architecture of cathodes in Li–air batteries implies the need for porosity with adequate pore size distribution and surface energy optimization regard to electrolyte. interaction liquid cathode material, especially wetting properties, which depend on roughness porosity, electrolyte needs be understood properly avoid flooding assure high active areas. In this work, contact angle goniome...

The ventilator inhales fresh air from outside into the inside cabin of a vehicle and exhales hot air to the outside. On a sunny day, solar energy can be used to run the ventilator, and to charge the battery simultaneously. During a cloudy day, the ventilator can be driven by the battery. In this paper, heat transfer and energy balance inside the car were investigated. Moreover power consumption...
