Non-aqueous Metal–Oxygen Batteries: Past, Present, and Future
A metal-oxygen battery (sometimes referred to as a ‘metal-air’ battery) is a cell chemistry in which one of the reactants is gaseous oxygen, O2. Oxygen enters the cell typically in the positive electrode—perhaps after being separated from an inflow of air—and dissolves in the electrolyte. The negative electrode is typically a metal monolith or foil. Upon discharge, metal cations present in the ...
متن کاملTayler instability in liquid metal columns and liquid metal batteries
In this paper we investigate the Tayler instability in an incompressible, viscous and resistive liquid metal column and in a model of a liquid metal battery (LMB). Detailed comparisons between theory and numerics, both in linear and nonlinear regimes, are performed. We identify the timescale that is well adapted to the quasi-static (QS) regime and find the range of Hartmann numbers where this a...
متن کاملNa Metal Anode: “Holy Grail” for Room-Temperature Na-Ion Batteries?
Issues such as fossil fuel depletion, environmental pollution, and global warming have triggered much interest in clean/renewable energy sources and the development of electric vehicles (EVs). To address these issues, advanced energy conversion and storage technologies play a crucial role. With relentless efforts in the past decades, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the primary source to pow...
متن کاملFluid Mechanics of Liquid Metal Batteries
The design and performance of liquid metal batteries (LMBs), a new technology for gridscale energy storage, depend on fluid mechanics because the battery electrodes and electrolytes are entirely liquid. Here, we review prior and current research on the fluid mechanics of LMBs, pointing out opportunities for future studies. Because the technology in its present form is just a few years old, only...
متن کاملStabilizing lithium metal using ionic liquids for long-lived batteries
Suppressing dendrite formation at lithium metal anodes during cycling is critical for the implementation of future lithium metal-based battery technology. Here we report that it can be achieved via the facile process of immersing the electrodes in ionic liquid electrolytes for a period of time before battery assembly. This creates a durable and lithium ion-permeable solid-electrolyte interphase...
