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

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 …

Comparing the metallic catalysts used in producing magnesium hydride for PowerPaste production

The first step of producing PowerPaste is the production of magnesium hydride. Magnesium hydride is considered a promising hydrogen storage material because of its efficient cost, lightweight, excellent reversibility, and natural abundance. Generally, doping transition metals and their alloys into magnesium hydride is regarded as one of the most practicable means of accelerating magnesium hydride …
