In recent years, noticeable progress is achieved regarding alkaline rechargeable batteries (ARBs). Due to their merits of safety and low cost, ARBs are considered promising energy storage sources for large-scale grid energy storage, electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles, as well as wearable and portable devices. While previous reviews have focused on specific topics associated with ARBs, providing a comprehensive review on rechargeable alkaline batteries is both timely and worthwhile. In this review, the recent progress in ARBs is summarized and the strategies underlying rational electrode designs for cathodes and anodes are highlighted, as well as their applications in full cells including flexible batteries. This review may pave the way for further designs of high-performance alkaline batteries. and a LiMn 2 O 4 cathode in 1994. [10] However, the electrolyzation of H 2 O limits the operating voltage window of ARABs, which are stable within ≈1.23 V. Furthermore, the electrode materials should be selected so that they avoid the electrolysis of H 2 O and maintain chemical stability in H 2 O. [3a] However, the preferred LIB cathodes, such as LiCoO 2 , LiMn 2 O 4 , and LiFePO 4 , which display a reversible capacity of 140, [11] 120, [12] and 170 mAh g −1 , [13] respectively, exhibit narrow working potentials and high stability in aqueous solutions but can take part in one-electron reactions at most. In addition, promising anode materials, such as VO 2 , [14] V 2 O 5 , [15] and H 2 V 3 O 8 , [16] possess the theoretical capacity or show the highest reversible capacity of only 161.6, 200, and 234 mAh g −1 , respectively, [3a] thereby leading to a full cell with a low energy density under the limited operating voltage window in aqueous electrolytes. Although the so-called "water-in-salt" electrolyte and its many variations can enable aqueous batteries with an electrochemical stability window of >3.0 V and an energy density of 200 Wh kg −1 , respectively, the ultrahighly concentrated electrolyte makes the cost too high for practical applications. [17] Since the early 20th century, alkaline rechargeable batteries (ARBs) based on nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) and nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) have been established and developed by Jüngner and Edison. [18] These batteries, which use alkaline solution as electrolytes, undergo an entirely different storage mechanism from ARABs and involve H + insertion/extraction and conversion processes from the alkali-metal ion insertion/extraction. Take the reaction mechanism of Ni-Fe batteries as an example

“…In addition, the current intensity of the redox peaks linearly increased with the square root of the applied voltage, confirming that the electrochemical reaction is controlled by hydroxyl ion diffusion (Fig. 11b), (Shangguan et al 2018;Li et al 2017). The faster transportation of the ions greatly accelerates the rate of reaction and minimizes the electrode polarization in charge-discharge cycles.…”

Selenium (Se), a member of the sulfur family, is considered as a potential alternative cathode material due to its high electronic conductivity and comparable volumetric capacity density to sulfur. Herein, we report on a simple one-step procedure to prepare trigonal selenium nanorods (t-Se) on graphene oxide (GO) without using any surfactant. The developed method does not utilize any harmful chemicals or harsh experimental conditions, and is, therefore, friendly from the environmental and economic point of views. We discovered that well-dispersed Se nanorods can be prepared at 20 mM Se under heating at 85 °C for 3 h. The successful growth of t-Se rods on GO sheets was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (crystalline structure), transmission electron microscopy (morphology), Raman spectroscopy (crystalline form and defects), and XPS technique (elemental composition). The Se nanorod-loaded GO composite (GO-Se) displayed a promising specific capacity of 405.5 mAh g −1 at a high current density (10 A g −1 ) and high cycling stability with a negligible capacity decay over 1000 cycles. Importantly, the GO-Se electrode delivered a high reversible capacity of 471.5 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 . The improved electrical performance of the GO-Se composite could be attributed to the electrical conductivity and unique architecture of reduced graphene, which effectively enhances the utilization of active Se rods and significantly augment the electronic conductivity of the GO-Se electrode. The present study demonstrates that a hybrid system of 1D t-Se impregnated GO composite could be a promising cathode material for long-life batteries and other storage devices.

“…There are different phases for iron-based composites because of the valence states and crystal structures ( Figure 3), and they are largely used as the electrodes material in the NiÀ Fe batteries. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Fe 2 O 3 is mainly used as the anode which belongs to the hexagonal system in which one iron atom connects with four oxygen atoms.

High‐Capacity Iron‐Based Anodes for Aqueous Secondary Nickel−Iron Batteries: Recent Progress and Prospects

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aqueous rechargeable nickel‐iron (Ni−Fe) batteries characterized by their ultra‐flat discharge plateau, low cost, and remarkable safety show attractive prospects for applications in wearable and large‐scale energy storage. Electrode materials, as the key part of Ni−Fe batteries, determine their performance. Comparatively, Fe‐based anode materials possess much lower capacity and energy density than available Ni‐based cathode materials; thus, the overall electrochemical performance of Ni−Fe batteries is dominated by Fe‐based anode materials. The key challenge of Fe‐based anodes for Ni−Fe batteries is their inferior electrochemical performance originating from their poor electrical conductivity. Recently, significant progress has been achieved in the development of Fe‐based anodes for Ni−Fe batteries through nanostructural design, componential regulation, interface engineering and elemental doping, whereby both intrinsic capacity and energy density have been enhanced. This Review presents an overview of the recent progress in Fe‐based anode materials by categories of metal, oxide, sulfide, hydroxide, phosphide and selenide based on chemical composition. Finally, the challenges and possible solutions are briefly presented with some perspectives toward the future development of Fe‐based anode materials for next‐generation aqueous secondary Ni−Fe batteries.
