Resistance Breakdown of a Membraneless Hydrogen-Bromine Redox Flow Battery

A key bottleneck to society's transition to renewable energy is the lack of cost-effective energy storage systems. Hydrogen-bromine redox flow batteries are seen as a promising solution, due to the use of low-cost reactants and highly conductive electrolytes, but market penetration is prevented due to high capital costs, for example due to...

The acid–base flow battery: Sustainable energy storage via reversible water dissociation with bipolar membranes

The increasing share of renewables in electric grids nowadays causes a growing daily and seasonal mismatch between electricity generation and demand. In this regard, novel energy storage systems need to be developed, to allow large-scale storage of the excess electricity during low-demand time, and its distribution during peak demand time....
