Structures and Free Energies of Cerium Ions in Acidic Electrolytes and Structures of Electrolyte-Electrode Interfaces to Inform Kinetic Performance in Redox Flow Battery Applications
Abstract:Despite the interest in renewable energy as a substitute for fossil fuels, renewables make up less than 20%1 of total electrical energy in the United States in part because their intermittency prevents them from being a dominant fraction without storage.2 The redox flow battery (RFB) is a promising energy storage technology because of its high-power density and long lifetime,2 which can be used to address intermittency by decoupling customer demand and renewable electricity generation. Currently, however, RFBs… 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.
