Effective deposition of thin insulating layers for sensors in hydrogen technologyjueves, 27 septiembre 2018 Scientists at the Fraunhofer FEP have investigated new approaches for depositing low-defect insulating layers, part of the joint project “NaFuSS“ (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research/BMBF promotional reference number 13N13171). The aim is to increase the reliability and durability of pressure sensors for hydrogen technology, an area that is becoming increasingly important.Electric autmobiles have experienced a real boom in recent years. Due to an increasing change in thinking favoring environmentally friendlier behavior in everyday life, more and more people are buying electric cars or using car-sharing services. Those also are increasingly committed to fleets of electric cars. But electric cars still have a major shortcoming. Due to their long charging times, they are not a viable alternative yet for drivers who use their vehicles frequently, for people needing a lot of flexibility such as on-call services, for local public transport, and trucks.
