KIST creates high-performance ceramic gas cell that operates butane gas
A Korean research study group has actually created a high-performance ceramic gas cell that can operate butane gas. Because butane can be liquified as well as therefore can be kept and also brought conveniently, the brand-new innovation is anticipated to broaden the application variety of ceramic gas cells to mobile as well as mobile applications such as electrical automobiles, drones as well as robotics. Formerly, ceramic gas cells had actually just been thought about for application to large-capacity power generation systems because of their high-temperature procedure.
