Enhanced Surface Area Carbon Cathodes for the Hydrogen–Bromine Redox Flow Battery

نویسندگان

چکیده

The hydrogen–bromine redox flow battery is a promising energy storage technology with the potential for capital costs as low 220 $ kWh−1 and high operational power densities in excess of 1.4 W cm−2. In this work, enhanced surface area bromine electrodes incorporating carbon black (CB) graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) on paper cloth substrates were investigated, effect electrolyte concentration performance was studied. Carbon-black-modified are found to possess largest electrochemically active areas, i.e., up 11 times that unmodified materials, while GnP shown have superior kinetic activity towards electrode reaction. terms performance, lower concentrations favour improved parameters associated nanoplatelet electrodes, highly concentrated electrolytes larger electrodes. optimal achieved carbon-black-modified 6 M HBr/2 Br2 concentration, polarisation current approaching 1.6 A cm−2 at overpotentials ±400 mV, mean 364 mV during oxidation 343 reduction, resulting from oxidation/reduction cycling tests ±1.5

Carbon coated hollow Na2FePO4F spheres for Na-ion battery cathodes

Carbon coated porous hollow Na2FePO4F (C/Na2FePO4F) spheres with 500 nm diameter and 80 nm wall thickness are synthesized by a one-step template-free ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process using sucrose as the carbon source. Nano-sized porous hollow C/Na2FePO4F spheres allow electrolyte to penetrate into the hollow structure, and thus the electrochemical reaction can take place on both the outside ...
