Abstract:For meeting ambitious carbon-free electricity goals, low-cost electrical energy storage solutions are needed. Although redox flow batteries are a promising option to satisfy this need, the cost of these devices must decrease before widespread adoption can take place. As the electrolytes are the most significant expense for MW-scale flow batteries, new chemistries derived from inexpensive metals is one approach that may alleviate this bottleneck towards a carbon-free power grid. Here we use an electrochemical a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
