Energy policy and research

A type of fuel cell that uses a solid ceramic material as its electrolyte. It operates at high temperatures and can utilize various fuels including natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen.

The process of using solar energy to produce hydrogen, often integrated with fuel cell technology for a self-sustaining system.

New electrolyte formulations for rechargeable lithium batteries are being developed with DOE support to improve battery performance and durability.
