“…For instance, the use of Li metal anodes raises serious concerns regarding safety, cost, and production complexity, [6–8] as widely recognized by the current battery industry. More importantly, the severe parasitic reactions between Li metal and Cl‐based electrolytes necessitate the use of largely excess Li metal (e.g., more than 30‐fold for a rechargeable Li/Cl 2 battery), [9,10] which inevitably reduces the practical electrochemical performance [11,12] . Therefore, unlocking new anode chemistry for Cl‐based batteries represents a crucial but challenging goal for the whole field.…”

Chlorine (Cl)‐based batteries such as Li/Cl2 batteries are recognized as promising candidates for energy storage with low cost and high performance. However, the current use of Li metal anodes in Cl‐based batteries has raised serious concerns regarding safety, cost, and production complexity. More importantly, the well‐documented parasitic reactions between Li metal and Cl‐based electrolytes require a large excess of Li metal, which inevitably sacrifices the electrochemical performance of the full cell. Therefore, it is crucial but challenging to establish new anode chemistry, particularly with electrochemical reversibility, for Cl‐based batteries. Here we show, for the first time, reversible Si redox in Cl‐based batteries through efficient electrolyte dilution and anode/electrolyte interface passivation using 1,2‐dichloroethane and cyclized polyacrylonitrile as key mediators. Our Si anode chemistry enables significantly increased cycling stability and shelf lives compared with conventional Li metal anodes. It also avoids the use of a large excess of anode materials, thus enabling the first rechargeable Cl2 full battery with remarkable energy and power densities of 809 Wh kg−1 and 4,277 W kg−1, respectively. The Si anode chemistry affords fast kinetics with remarkable rate capability and low‐temperature electrochemical performance, indicating its great potential in practical applications.

“…Batteries can be divided, which are primary and secondary into two main categories according to their rechargeable or non‐rechargeable property 10 . A primary battery such as alkaline manganese dioxide, 11 zinc‐carbon, 12 and lithium thionyl chloride 13 does not have the property of being recharged and energy is irreversible in these batteries. Contrary to this, a secondary battery such as lead‐acid, 14‐18 lithium‐ion, 7,19,20 nickel‐cadmium battery, 21 sodium‐sulfur, 22 and nickel‐metal hydride (Ni‐MH) 23,24 is rechargeable.…”

Summary In this study, Ce/Cr redox flow battery system (RFB), which had redox pair in different oxidation states, was performed in aqueous acidic medium for the first time in the literature. At Ce/Cr RFB system, optimization of acid (H2SO4), and active ion (Cr(III) and Ce(III) ions) concentration were executed by using differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. The mass transfer type for positive electrolyte was determined by using of cyclic voltammetric method. Both chemical stability and changes on surface morphology of pencil graphite electrode were analyzed with scanning electron microscope. Cyclic charge/discharge test was performed for this novel electrolyte composition. Cell potential and the highest discharge capacity values were also determined as 1.52 V and 21.2 mAh L−1, respectively, at 0.8 mA cm−2 charge current density and 0.2 mA cm−2 discharge current density. Obtained data in this work can open a new perspective for the using of the alternative redox couples for the redox flow batteries.

[7][8][9] Depending on the application field, either bobbin or spiral geometries are utilized for cylindrical geometries. The amount of electrolytes inside the bobbin-type is higher than the spiral batteries; thus, the bobbin-type has a greater capacity than the spiral of the same size.…”

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) has been utilized as an in situ, non-destructive diagnostic tool for the comprehensive electrochemical characterization of lithium thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl2) batteries. Li/SOCl2 batteries come in various geometries or architectures tailored for the application area and required specifications. In this study, detailed EIS studies of spiral and bobbin-type Li/SOCl2 batteries are performed at different temperatures to investigate the impedance response, calculate the activation energy of various processes, and observe the effect of geometry. An extensive comparison between the two geometries reveals that the processes can be differentiated by their time constants and capacitances. It was observed that the current collector impedance masks the high-frequency response of bobbin-type at elevated temperatures with similar Li redox processes in the middle-frequency region. Additionally, transmission line fit is performed on the bobbin type to investigate diffusion-related cathodic processes.
