By sdyhin 22 March 2016 A newly-completed solar project near iconic Uluru in Australia’s red centre is proving how on-site renewable energy is cleaner and cheaper than alternative sources of energy for many remote businesses and consumers. The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) and Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) today…

Material scientists have found certain metal oxides increase capacity and improve cycling performance in lithium-ion batteries. The team synthesized and compared the electrochemical performance of three graphene metal oxide nanocomposites and found that two of them greatly improved reversible lithium storage capacity.

As the demand for thinner microelectronic devices increases, manufacturers often are limited by how oddly shaped the energy sources must become to make them conform to the smaller space. Now, researchers have developed a method of transferring an energy source to virtually any shape. Using direct laser-writing techniques, scientists can…

A process for providing sensitive semiconductors for solar water splitting (‘artificial leaves’) with an organic, transparent protective layer has been developed by researchers. The extremely thin protective layer made of carbon chains is stable, conductive, and covered with catalyzing nanoparticles of metal oxides. These accelerate the splitting of water when…

By Solar Costa Rica Aresep has announced net metering prices alowing solar projects to move forward after over a year with net metering projects halted. The new prices will provide income for the power companies while still making solar energy a viable investment. [PR.com] Read more here:: http://www.pr.com/press-release/663394

By Green Alternative Systems A flood of scientific articles point to the dangers greenhouse gases pose to the environment, especially the emissions created by vehicles. Alternative fuel options are more popular than ever, both with the federal government and consumers. [PR.com] Read more here:: http://www.pr.com/press-release/663141

Solar fuels, clean fuels from sunlight, water and CO2, form an attractive way for storing solar energy in hydrogen or hydrocarbons, for example. The efficiency of this technology still needs a ‘boost’. Researcher investigated special nanoplates with platinum particles on them, accelerating the chemical conversion.
