Aluminium-air Batteries and Lithium-air Batteries for EVs: A Comparison

Leave a Comment / Automotive, Batteries For EVs, Clean Energy, Electric Vehicles, Energy Efficiency, Energy Storage, Renewable Energy, Synthetic Biology / By

Lithium-Air Batteries for EVs Lithium-air batteries (LABs) reduce oxygen from the air at the cathode and oxidises lithium metal at the anode to produce a current flow during discharge. The lithium-air battery can obtain oxygen from the air externally, removing the need for internal storage. This results in a higher energy density compared to that of …

Synthetic Fuel Production from Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies

Leave a Comment / Synthetic Biology / By

Synthetic fuel or ‘synfuel’ is a broad term used to describe a liquid fuel that is not produced from naturally occurring crude oil. Its production involves a process called Fisher-Tropsch that helps in converting hydrocarbons into syngas. Apart from deriving the fuel from coal, natural gas, renewable biomass, and others, synfuels can also be made …

Aqueous alkaline systems and solid sorbent systems for direct air capture – A comparison

Leave a Comment / Synthetic Biology / By

Most adsorbents used for direct air capture of carbon dioxide are reversible. These adsorbents can be cycled several times to capture and release carbon dioxide. The most common chemisorbents used for direct air capture of carbon dioxide from the air include calcium and sodium-based sorbents. Physisorbents like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), activated carbons, and zeolites have …
