“…These batteries are promising for a variety of applications due to their superior specific capacity and energy density relative to commercial Li-ion batteries. [5][6][7][8] For PEMFCs, substantial platinum catalyst loadings are required to overcome the slow ORR kinetics and resulting high overpotentials. [9][10][11][12] The widespread development of PEMFCs is therefore limited by the scarcity and high price of these platinum-based catalysts.…”

“…Metal-air batteries (MABs) are of great interest due to their high theoretical energy density and because they can be used in stationary, mobile, and electronic applications [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. In the group of non-aqueous MABs, we can distinguish Li-air battery with the highest theoretical energy density, Na-air, and K-air batteries [ 7 ].…”

“…The GDEs for use in alkaline fuel cells were already investigated in the 1960s. Many efforts have been made since then to optimize the design of the GDEs based on both experimental studies and computer simulations [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. One of the most important factors that helps improve the performance of the GDEs in terms of their cycle life, capacity, and Coulombic efficiency using a static electrolyte, is an increase in the surface area of the GDEs and current collector.…”

The corrosion of materials used in the design of metal-air batteries may shorten their cycle life. Therefore, metal-based materials with enhanced electrochemical stability have attracted much attention. The purpose of this work was to determine the corrosion resistance of commercially pure titanium Grade 2 (CpTi G2) cellular lattice with the triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) architecture of G80, D80, I-2Y80 in 0.1 M KOH solution saturated with oxygen at 25 °C. To produce CpTi G2 cellular lattices, selective laser melting technology was used which allowed us to obtain 3D cellular lattice structures with a controlled total porosity of 80%. For comparison, the bulk electrode was also investigated. SEM examination and statistical analysis of the surface topography maps of the CpTi G2 cellular lattices with the TPMS architecture revealed much more complex surface morphology compared to the bulk CpTi SLM. Corrosion resistance tests of the obtained materials were conducted using open circuit potential method, Tafel curves, anodic polarization curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The highest corrosion resistance and the lowest material consumption per year were revealed for the CpTi G2 cellular lattice with TPMS architecture of G80, which can be proposed as promising material with increased corrosion resistance for gas diffusion in alkaline metal-air batteries.

“…Despite their economic feasibility and environmental friendliness, their intermittent nature and geographical limitations are the major challenges for their full employment as next-generation energy sources. To counteract their fluctuating energy outputs and thus improve the stability of the electrical grid, an efficient and stable electrical energy storage system is needed [3][4][5].…”

“…Similarly, Li-ion batteries play an important role in our daily lives, as they are the most commonly used battery in electric vehicles and electronics today. Unfortunately, their high cost per kWh and recent concerns over their safety have restricted their application, thus requiring the development of new storage technologies for the next generation [3,9,10]. The thermal runaway of the cell, which leads to whole battery pack failure, is believed to be caused by mechanical, electrical, or thermal abuses [11].…”

Prospects for Anion-Exchange Membranes in Alkali Metal–Air Batteries

2019

Rechargeable alkali metal–air batteries have enormous potential in energy storage applications due to their high energy densities, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Membrane separators determine the performance and economic viability of these batteries. Usually, porous membrane separators taken from lithium-based batteries are used. Moreover, composite and cation-exchange membranes have been tested. However, crossover of unwanted species (such as zincate ions in zinc–air flow batteries) and/or low hydroxide ions conductivity are major issues to be overcome. On the other hand, state-of-art anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) have been applied to meet the current challenges with regard to rechargeable zinc–air batteries, which have received the most attention among alkali metal–air batteries. The recent advances and remaining challenges of AEMs for these batteries are critically discussed in this review. Correlation between the properties of the AEMs and performance and cyclability of the batteries is discussed. Finally, strategies for overcoming the remaining challenges and future outlooks on the topic are briefly provided. We believe this paper will play a significant role in promoting R&D on developing suitable AEMs with potential applications in alkali metal–air flow batteries.
