The use of hydrogen fuel DELL laptop battery car from Shanghai Fuel Cell Technology Co., Ltd. Qing able to produce.

With the “American Automotive News • China” in an interview in Shanghai Qing energy fuel cell technology, CEO George Gu said that the use of hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid electric vehicle battery portfolio will be the development of new direction.
Mr. Gu said that the weight of batteries due to their own problems with many restrictions. Use the weight of large vehicles need more battery power to drive itself. However, by hydrogen fuel cells and battery requirements for motor vehicles was divided between cruising and accelerating momentum, then the hybrid vehicle can be like a normal car-driving, he added.

Mr. Gu said, “Fuel cells could be used to provide car cruise power capacitors, while the battery provides peak power can be accelerated.;” And capacitor batteries can also be achieved under braking to recharge the battery dell Inspiron 6400 battery,dell Inspiron 640m battery.  But a senior industry analyst at Global Insight Duan Wu expressed doubts about “taking into account all aspects of the obstacles, I believe that such vehicles will only be suitable for display purposes, also suitable for use up to a very limited purpose, such as the World Expo or university campus.; headquartered in Singapore, Horizon’s fuel cells produce almost 100,000, and a number of fuel cell vehicles to the developer supply, including fuel cell vehicles are engaged in research of Chinese universities. The company has 120 employees in Shanghai, with production and R & D base.

The Chinese government is promoting the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Shanghai Shenli Technology Co., Ltd. is also a developer of fuel cell technology, the company spokesman Sunny Sun, said the company is on the normal size passenger car’s fuel cell vehicle project in cooperation with the Government.

Sun said that the divine power the company’s hydrogen fuel cell power system can produce electricity to drive passenger car engines. Used to re-charge time is normally 10 minutes.

To re-charge time is installed in passenger cars on the hydrogen storage tank pressure and the size determined, Sun has said. If the pressure is high, re-charge time will be longer, or if large size, the time will be longer, but usually is 5 to 10 minutes of time.

Sun says that from the divine power company’s fuel cell-powered passenger cars will be in next year’s debut at the Shanghai World Expo.
At present, there are two hydrogen refueling station in Beijing, in Shanghai, is the only one.

However, Shanghai will also build four hydrogen refueling station. She said, “By 2010, Shanghai will have five hydrogen refueling station available for 2010 Shanghai World Expo show at the fuel cell vehicle use.

Volkswagen and its partner Shanghai Automotive Industry (Group) Corporation has been leading the development of China’s hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology trend.

Volkswagen spokesman Nikolas Thorke in China, said, “Volkswagen is actively engaged in hydrogen fuel cell vehicle research and development, not only in Germany, and China.;” Shanghai Volkswagen and Tongji University with the cooperation, the Volkswagen Passat areas according to Shanghai Volkswagen passenger cars, has developed a Passat Passat fuel cell cars. In 2008, one from the 20 Passat Passat convoy of fuel cell vehicles to the Beijing Olympic Games with a green transport services.

In addition Passat Passat fuel cell vehicles, the Volkswagen automobile company in Germany has developed several other fuel cell vehicles, such as the Bora HyMotion, Touran HyMotion and the Tiguan HyMotion. Thorke that these models have been brought to China and will participate in a number of technical exchange activities.

However, Volkswagen said, are yet to be put into commercial production of these vehicles immediately plan. Thorke said, “the further development of fuel cell vehicles are still among the recently will not make a clear production plan.

According to “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” website latest news, Japan’s economy, Trade and Industry in conjunction with major private companies jointly developed a solar power industry aimed at improving the competitiveness of the comprehensive countermeasure, that should be made to the Japanese in 2020 the global production of solar cells share from the current 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 or more.

Reported that the Japanese government will solar power industry as the engine of economic growth in Japan’s future. The response was the main contents include: the establishment of a new mechanism, so that Japan’s power companies at twice the price of the current acquisition of Japanese households solar power equipment production surplus electricity; order to ensure the production of silicon solar cells needed for the stability of the procurement Government will, through policy-oriented banks to provide special financing to the relevant companies.

This integrated approach will be through the Industry Minister Toshihiro Nikai held on March 18 the government formally proposed at the Economic and Fiscal Policy.

Green technology is the virus to enter. The researchers used recently developed a virus, you can charge the battery - similar to hybrid cars and batteries used in notebook computers. To date, such cells usually using chemical methods, high temperature processed. The new research is no doubt the production of the battery provides an alternative low-power green new methods.

Most business will use a lithium-ion rechargeable battery from the positive (negative electrical terminal) passed to the negative (positive electricity side), and this process must be only under high temperature conditions, can be achieved. Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, USA (MIT) materials chemist Angela Belcher and her colleagues decided to adopt the biological process has developed a better battery. Belcher pointed out that this approach is logical, because the battery in some of the raw materials - such as phosphate and ions - are present in the life-support systems into, and can easily be manipulated organisms.

Scientists have used microscopes to the hundreds of millions of viral DNA scanned, identified the M13 virus. This virus length of 880 nm is a very simple and easy manipulation of the virus, harmless to human body.

The team first to use genetic engineering to make the shell of the virus adsorption on the M13 three cobalt oxide and gold, followed by their assembly into the membrane, thus made into a positive.

The next problem is to solve the negative electrode, which is a more challenging task, so it requires a very high conductivity. Research team using engineering methods in M13 virus on the accumulation of iron phosphate ions, and with a highly conductive carbon nanotube network made of connected. E can be quickly passed in the system, thus increasing the capacity of cathode. In fact, Belcher developed commercial applications of lithium batteries and battery with the same performance while charging and discharging at least 100 times. Study Group on April 2 in the U.S. “Science” magazine online edition reported on the results of this study.

The virus-based technology will be the first production of a biological means of the battery. Belcher emphasized that, in addition to carbon nanotubes all but the systems are made at room temperature, and only water as a solvent. Finally, when the battery end of life and degradation, it does not leave any toxic chemicals. Belcher said: “This is definitely a very clean way.”

But she warned that the technology is not yet put into commercial applications. Belcher said that because the virus needs to market the battery capacity and performance of existing batteries to match, so “we need a proportionate increase in the materials.” “We need to further improve its performance.”

Other experts also agree that Belcher invention and will not change overnight the face of the battery industry. New York State, Binghamton University, Materials Research Institute chemist M. Stanley Whittingham, said: “This is related to scientific curiosity.” Whittingham said that in order to change this battery technology, the researchers have produced a higher-capacity anode .
