Modeling the Performance of an Integrated Battery and Electrolyzer System

Both daily and seasonal fluctuations of renewable power sources will require large-scale energy storage technologies. A recently developed integrated battery and electrolyzer system, called battolyser, fulfills both time-scale requirements. Here, we develop a macroscopic COMSOL Multiphysics model to quantify the energetic efficiency of the...

Effect of different alkali metal cations on the oxygen evolution activity and battery capacity of nickel electrodes in concentrated hydroxide electrolytes

The effect of different alkali metal cations on the oxygen evolution activity and battery capacity of nickel electrodes has recently been studied in low concentration alkali hydroxide electrolytes. As high concentration hydroxide electrolytes are favored in applications due to their high conductivity, we investigate if the cation effects...
