Nonaqueous redox flow battery electrolyte comprising an ionic liquid with a metal cation coordinated to redox-active ligands

Patent Small, Leo; Anderson, Travis; Pratt, Harry

Nonaqueous redox flow batteries (RFB) hold the potential for high energy density grid scale storage, though are often limited by the solubility of the redox-active species in their electrolytes. A systematic approach enables an increase the concentration of redox-active species in electrolytes for nonaqueous RFB, starting from a metal-coordination-cation-based ionic liquid. As an example, starting with an ionic liquid consisting of a metal coordination cation (MetIL), ferrocene-containing ligands and iodide anions can be substituted into the original MetIL structure, enabling a nearly 4× increase in capacity compared to original MetIL structure. Application of this strategy to other chemistries, optimizing electrolytemore »« less

Diels Alder polyphenylene anion exchange membrane for nonaqueous redox flow batteries

Journal Article Small, Leo; Pratt, III, Harry; Fujimoto, Cy; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Here highly conductive, solvent-resistant anionic Diels Alder polyphenylene (DAPP) membranes were synthesized with three different ionic contents and tested in an ionic liquid-based nonaqueous redox flow battery (RFB). These membranes display 3–10× increase in conductivity in propylene carbonate compared to some commercially available (aqueous) anion exchange membranes. The membrane with an ion content of 1.5 meq/g (DAPP1.5) proved too brittle for operation in a RFB, while the membrane with an ion content of 2.5 meq/g (DAPP2.5) allowed excessive movement of solvent and poor electrochemical yields (capacity fade). Despite having lower voltage efficiencies compared to DAPP2.5, the membrane with an intermediatemore »« less

Realization of an Asymmetric Non‐Aqueous Redox Flow Battery through Molecular Design to Minimize Active Species Crossover and Decomposition

Journal Article Shrestha, Anuska; Hendriks, Koen; Sigman, Mathew; ... - Chemistry - A European Journal

Abstract This communication presents a mechanism‐based approach to identify organic electrolytes for non‐aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs). Symmetrical flow cell cycling of a pyridinium anolyte and a cyclopropenium catholyte resulted in extensive capacity fade due to competing decomposition of the pyridinium species. Characterization of this decomposition pathway enabled the rational design of next‐generation anolyte/catholyte pairs with dramatically enhanced cycling performance. Three factors were identified as critical for slowing capacity fade: (1) separating the anolyte–catholyte in an asymmetric flow cell using an anion exchange membrane (AEM); (2) moving from monomeric to oligomeric electrolytes to limit crossover through the AEM; and (3) removing the basicmore »« less

Reversible redox chemistry in azobenzene-based organic molecules for high-capacity and long-life nonaqueous redox flow batteries

Journal Article Zhang, Leyuan; Qian, Yumin; Feng, Ruozhu; ... - Nature Communications

Redox flow batteries (RFBs), often categorized as aqueous and nonaqueous systems, represent a type of large-scale energy storage technology for renewable energy resources. Redox-active organic molecules have recently drawn extensive interests in RFBs as promising active materials due to their elemental abundance, structural diversity and high tunability of properties, but employing organic molecules in nonaqueous systems is far limited in terms of useable capacity and cycling stability. Here we introduce a class of azobenzene-based organic compounds with the azo group as redox-active center in the p-conjugated structure as new active materials to realize high-performance nonaqueous RFBs with long cycling lifemore »« less
