In a new study published in Nature Energy, a research group led by Prof. Xianfeng Li from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) collaborated with Prof. Qiang Fu’s group from DICP to construct a multi-electron transfer cathode based on bromine and iodine, attaining a specific capacity of more than 840 Ah/L and an energy density of up to 1200 Wh/L based on catholyte in full battery testing.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences has fabricated a kilowatt-scale aqueous redox flow battery with a capacity of 80 mA cm-2 over 500 cycles. The researchers claim that it is a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage.
The increasingly stringent environmental issues and energy crisis result in the quick development of renewable energies and their greater proportion in the energy-supply structure.
