ECIS and Compass Metals: Platinum Nanostructures for Enhanced Catalysis

On March 29, 2013, in Advanced Materials Laboratory, Capabilities, Energy, Energy Efficiency, Facilities, Partnership, Renewable Energy, Research & Capabilities, Systems Engineering, Transportation Energy

Renewable energy sources are critical to the nation’s future, and hydrogen-powered fuel cells offer an attractive alternative to current technologies. However, fuel-cell catalysts must become more durable, efficient, and inexpensive before they are practical and cost-effective. Because most fuel cells use platinum or platinum alloys as catalysts, the limited platinum supply is a barrier to [...]


ECIS, Boeing, Caltrans, and Others: Fuel-Cell-Powered Mobile Lighting Applications

On March 29, 2013, in Capabilities, CRF, Energy, Energy Efficiency, Facilities, Partnership, Research & Capabilities, Transportation Energy

Highway construction workers, airport maintenance personnel, and film crews use small, portable lighting systems known as “mobile lighting.” Traditionally, mobile lighting units are powered by diesel-fueled generators that produce CO2, NOx (nitrogen oxides produced during combustion), and soot, putting them at odds with responsible environmental stewardship. Sandia, with help from Boeing, the California Department of [...]
