Abstract
The present experimental work aims to improve the performance of single basin solar still using two different augmentation approach namely, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) coated absorber plate in solar still and RGO coated absorber plate along with activated carbon pellet as sensible heat energy storage medium. Results showed that utilization of RGO coated absorber plate along with activated carbon pellet in solar still augmented the water yield by 58.15% and full-day average energy efficiency by 64.44%, respectively, compared to conventional solar still. The fractional evaporation exergy was maximum for solar still integrated with RGO coating and activated carbon pellet, owing to the higher water temperature of the basin. The solar still integrated with RGO and activated carbon pellet caused the maximum average full-day exergy efficiency, due to excellent solar-thermal conversion efficiency and high conductivity of RGO along with high energy storage capacity of porous activa

A possible red hot future for electric vehicle batteries
High-temperature batteries could one day power road vehicles, according to the University of Nottingham, which has worked with Chinese universities to take a step forward with molten salt ‘metal-air’ batteries.
Having a battery running at 700-800°C might seem a little impractical.
“This molten salt battery has multiple feasible application directions, and transport is one of these,” Nottingham professor of electro-chemistry George Chen told Electronics Weekly. “It is indeed a high temperature battery, but the working temperature is actually about the same as the temperature of the engine exhaust gas from a petrol or diesel engine. In principle, maintaining the temperature can be achieved by the currents for charging and discharging of the battery, good thermal insulation and some additional electric heating if necessary. An older version of molten salt battery for transport application is the so-called Zebra ba
