Abstract Non–aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal (Ca, Mg, Al, etc.) batteries are promising for large–scale energy storage due to their low cost. However, their practical applications face formidable challenges owing to low electrochemical reversibility and dendrite growth of multivalent metal anodes, sluggish kinetics of multivalent ion in metal oxide cathodes, and poor electrode compatibility of flammable organic electrolytes. To overcome these intrinsic hurdles, we develop aqueous multivalent ion batteries to replace the prevailing non–aqueous multivalent metal batteries by using wide–window super–concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, the versatile high–capacity sulfur anodes, and high–voltage metal oxide cathodes. This rationally designed aqueous battery chemistry enables the long–lasting multivalent ion batteries featured with increased high energy density, reversibility and safety. As a demonstration model, a calcium ion−sulfur||metal oxide full cell exhibited a high energy density of 110 Wh kg–1 with outstanding cycling stability. Molecular dynamics modelling and experimental investigations revealed that the side reactions could be significantly restrained through the suppressed water activity and formation of protective inorganic solid electrolyte interphase in the aqueous gel electrolyte. The unique redox chemistry has also been successfully extended to aqueous magnesium ion and aluminum ion−sulfur||metal oxide batteries. This work will boost aqueous multivalent ion batteries for low−cost large–scale energy storage.

The goal of the battery research community is to reach sustainable batteries with high performance, meaning energy and power densities close to the theoretical limits, excellent stability, high safety, and scalability to enable the large-scale production of batteries at a competitive cost. In that perspective, chemical vapour deposition processes, which can operate safely under high-volume conditions at relatively low cost, should allow aqueous batteries to become leading candidates for energy storage applications. Research interest and developments in aqueous battery technologies have significantly increased the last five years, including monovalent (Li+, Na+, K+) and multivalent systems (Mg2+, Zn2+, Al3+). However, their large-scale production is still somewhat inhibited, since it is not possible to get electrodes with robust properties that yield optimum performance of the electrodes per surface area. In this review paper, we present the progress and challenges in the growth of electrodes through chemical vapour deposition at atmospheric pressure, which is one procedure that is proven to be industrially competitive. As battery systems attract the attention of many researchers, this review article might help those who work on large-scale electrical energy storage.

With Memory

The intermittence and uncertainty of wind power and photovoltaic power have hindered the large-scale development of both. Therefore, it is very necessary to properly configure energy storage devices in the wind-solar complementary power grid. For the hybrid energy storage system composed of storage battery and supercapacitor, the optimization model of hybrid energy storage capacity is established with the minimum comprehensive cost as the objective function and the energy saving and charging state as the constraints. A simulated annealing artificial fish school algorithm with memory function is proposed to solve the model. The results show that the hybrid energy storage system can greatly save costs and improve system economy.

Short And Long Term

For renewable energies to succeed in replacing fossil fuels, large-scale and affordable solutions are needed for short and long-term energy storage. A potentially inexpensive approach of storing large amounts of energy is through the use of a concentration flow cell that is based on cheap and abundant materials. Here, we propose to use aqueous iron chloride as a reacting solvent on carbon electrodes. We suggest to use it in a red-ox concentration flow cell with two compartments separated by a hydrocarbon-based membrane. In both compartments the red-ox couple of iron II and III reacts, oxidation at the anode and reduction at the cathode. When charging, a concentration difference between the two species grows. When discharging, this concentration difference between iron II and iron III is used to drive the reaction. In this respect it is a concentration driven flow cell redox battery using iron chloride in both solutions. Here, we investigate material combinations, power, and concentration relations.
