The Importance Of Power Conversion Technologies In The Production Of Green Hydrogen


Global demand for green hydrogen is high and rising fast. Some studies predict that the electrical power demand to produce green hydrogen will be 4500 GW by 2050, compared to today’s (2023) electrical power demand of around 25 GW. This exponential growth will be fueled by green hydrogen which will reduce the carbon footprint of existing industries that use hydrogen as a feedstock, and by the ... » read more

Rubbery Schottky Diodes Based on Soft, Stretchy Electronic Materials (Penn State)


A new technical paper titled "Fully rubbery Schottky diode and integrated devices" was published by researchers at Penn State University. The Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation funded this research. "Here, we report a fully rubbery Schottky diode constructed all based on stretchable electronic materials, including a liquid metal cathode, a rubbery semiconductor, and... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Oct. 22


Flexible battery Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a flexible thin-film battery that can be bent, stretched, and twisted without interrupting the supply of power. Key to the battery is a new electrolyte and entirely flexible components. "To date, no one has employed exclusively flexible components as systematically as we have in creating a lithium-ion battery," said Markus Niederberger, P... » read more
