Title: Redox polymer electrodes for advanced batteries

Abstract

Advanced batteries having a long cycle lifetime are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to electrodes made from redox polymer films and batteries in which either the positive electrode, the negative electrode, or both, comprise redox polymers. Suitable redox polymers for this purpose include pyridyl or polypyridyl complexes of transition metals like iron, ruthenium, osmium, chromium, tungsten and nickel; porphyrins (either free base or metallo derivatives); phthalocyanines (either free base or metallo derivatives); metal complexes of cyclams, such as tetraazacyclotetradecane; metal complexes of crown ethers and metallocenes such as ferrocene, cobaltocene and ruthenocene.

Redox active polymers and colloidal particles for flow batteries

Patent Gavvalapalli, Nagarjuna; Moore, Jeffrey S.; Rodriguez-Lopez, Joaquin; ...

The invention provides a redox flow battery comprising a microporous or nanoporous size-exclusion membrane, wherein one cell of the battery contains a redox-active polymer dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent or a redox-active colloidal particle dispersed in the non-aqueous solvent. The redox flow battery provides enhanced ionic conductivity across the electrolyte separator and reduced redox-active species crossover, thereby improving the performance and enabling widespread utilization. Redox active poly(vinylbenzyl ethylviologen) (RAPs) and redox active colloidal particles (RACs) were prepared and were found to be highly effective redox species. Controlled potential bulk electrolysis indicates that 94-99% of the nominal charge on different RAPsmore » « less

Redox-active supramolecular polymer binders derived from perylene bisimide nanowires enable high-rate lithium-sulfur batteries

Patent Helms, Brett A.; Frischmann, Peter D.; Hwa, Yoon; ...

To address the need for multi-functional binders specifically tailored for sulfur cathodes π-stacked perylene bisimide (PBI) molecules are repurposed as redox-active supramolecular binders in sulfur cathodes for Li—S cells. In operando lithiation of PBI binders permanently reduces Li—S cell impedance enabling high-rate cycling, a critical step toward unlocking the full potential of Li—S batteries.

Preparation of redox polymer cathodes for thin film rechargeable batteries

Patent Skotheim, Terje A [Shoreham, NY]; Lee, Hung S [Rocky Point, NY]; Okamoto, Yoshiyuki [Fort Lee, NJ]

The present invention relates to the manufacture of thin film solid state electrochemical devices using composite cathodes comprising a redox polymer capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction, a polymer solid electrolyte and conducting carbon. The polymeric cathode material is formed as a composite of radiation crosslinked polymer electrolytes and radiation crosslinked redox polymers based on polysiloxane backbones with attached organosulfur side groups capable of forming sulfur-sulfur bonds during electrochemical oxidation.

Redox-flow batteries employing oligomeric organic active materials and size-selective microporous polymer membranes

Patent Helms, Brett A.; Doris, Sean E.; Ward, Ashleigh L.; ...

Intermittent energy sources, including solar and wind, require scalable, low-cost, multi-hour energy storage solutions to be effectively incorporated into the grid. Redox-flow batteries offer a solution, but suffer from rapid capacity fade and low Coulombic efficiency due to the high permeability of redox-active species across the battery's membrane. Here we show that active-species crossover can be arrested by scaling the membrane's pore size to molecular dimensions and in turn increasing the size of the active material to be above the membrane's pore-size exclusion limit. When oligomeric redox-active organic molecules were paired with microporous polymer membranes, the rate of active-material crossovermore » « less
