“…The subsequent discharge curve (Fig. 7 (c)) is characterized by a decreasing cell voltage from around 1.2 to 0.8 V for around 170 mA s and terminated at 0.5 V. The suggestion is that the first discharge is accompanied by the dedoping of chloride ions and the subsequent charge is characterized by the doping of AlCl 4 − in the polymer, influencing the OCP, discharge voltage, and capacity. In addition, the insertion of bulky ions like AlCl 4 − in the polymer could change the structure of the polymer film and cause a damage of the film and a loss of active mass.…”

This paper presents a feasibility study of a nonaqueous rechargeable battery based on aluminum and poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) conductive polymer in a chloroaluminate ionic liquid. The polymer was electrodeposited on a vitreous carbon working electrode in a chloride aqueous solution and the structure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The doping/de-doping mechanism of chloride ions into the polymer structure was studied using a quartz crystal microbalance and cyclic voltammetry. The deposition/ dissolution of the aluminum negative electrode were investigated by electrochemical and microscopic methods. Performance data were obtained with a laboratory-scale aluminum-conductive polymer battery at constant current showing an average cell discharge voltage of 1 V and specific energies of at least 84 Wh kg −1 referred to the mass of the polymer and aluminum. The system is novel and the paper outlines further research to improve the cell performance.

Increasing concerns about the depletion of fossil resources and the issue of environment lead to a global need for producing more clean energy from renewable sources. Ocean is appreciated as a vast source of renewable energies. Considering marine renewable energies, it can be noticed that significant electrical power can be extracted from marine tidal currents. However, the power harnessed from marine tidal currents is highly fluctuant due to the swell effect and the periodicity of the tidal phenomenon. To improve the power quality and make the marine generation system more reliable, energy storage systems can play a crucial role. In this paper, an overview and the state of art of energy storage technologies are presented. Characteristics of various energy storage technologies are analyzed and compared for this particular application. The comparison shows that high-energy batteries like sodium-sulphur battery and flow battery are favorable for smoothing the long-period power fluctuation due to the tide phenomenon while supercapacitor and flywheel are more suitable for eliminating short-period power disturbances due to swell or turbulence phenomena.This means that hybrid storage technologies are needed for achieving optimal results in tidal marine current energy applications.

“…Indeed, energy storage is poorly represented in many pathway 40 models used to plan for a low-carbon economy [1,2] but is essential for ensuring a reliable supply of energy [3]. It is a key enabling element for the integration of variable resources such as wind and solar into the energy system [4,5] and it can lower the cost of providing peaking generators and improve efficiency [5,6].…”
