Despite the recent advancements in iron molten air batteries, great challenges still remain to realize cycling stability, high energy efficiency and a long-term cycling life.
Abstract::
Activated peroxide systems are formed by adding so-called bleach activators to aqueous solution of hydrogen
peroxide, developed in the seventies of the last century for use in domestic laundry for their high energy efficiency and introduced
at the beginning of the 21st century to the textile industry as an approach toward overcoming the extensive energy
consumption in bleaching. In activated peroxide systems, bleach activators undergo perhydrolysis to generate more kinetically
active peracids that enable bleaching under milder conditions while hydrolysis of bleach activators and decomposition
of peracids may occur as side reactions to weaken the bleaching efficiency. This mini-review aims to summarize these competitive
reactions in activated peroxide systems and their influence on bleaching performance.
Electrochemical processes enable fast lithium extraction, for example, from brines, with high energy efficiency and stability. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and manganese oxide (λ-MnO2) have usually been employed as the...
