The proof is in the software
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryUnited States’ policymakers, auto manufacturers, energy companies and ultimately citizens are investing trillions of dollars into electrifying vehicles.
Alexey Serov’s inventions pave the way for green hydrogen fuel cells
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryIt would be a challenge for any scientist to match Alexey Serov’s rate of inventions related to green hydrogen fuel. Serov, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has 84 patents with at least 35 more under review, so his electrifying pace is unlikely to slow down any time soon.
Serov’s research focuses on the materials and performance of fuel cells that power electric vehicles or buildings by converting hydrogen and oxygen into heat, water and electricity. Fuel cells create energy through an electrochemical reaction rather than by burning liquid fuel like gasoline or diesel.
A bird’s-eye view of energy storage
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryThe 5th Battery and Energy Storage Conference, hosted by Argonne, examined how far storage has come and assessed the path forward.
