🔍 Welcome to the fourth episode of IBTR's popular science series, "Vanadium Flow Battery 23 Questions." Today, we delve into a fundamental query: What is the role of electrolyte in a vanadium flow battery? 🔋Vanadium flow batteries rely on electrolytes as their energy storage medium, emphasizing the critical role electrolyte stability plays in VFB performance and cycle life. To elevate VFB performance, enhancing electrolytes is crucial, with a focus on solubility and stability enhancements. 🔬 Current research endeavors to optimize electrolyte production processes, integrating additives and stabilizers to achieve heightened stability, concentration, wide temperature adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. 💡 Yet, electrolyte costs represent a significant portion of VFB expenses, igniting efforts to curb raw material consumption and promote electrolyte leasing business models. This pursuit involves lowering production costs by boosting electrolyte utilization. 💼 Innovative financial and commercial models, like electrolyte leasing, offer potential cost-effective solutions. By embracing electrolyte leasing, companies can slash initial investment costs, potentially halving expenses compared to traditional purchasing models. 🌐 Join us in unlocking the potential of vanadium flow batteries, shaping a sustainable energy future with efficient, cost-effective energy storage solutions. #VanadiumFlowBatteries #EnergyStorage #Electrolytes #Innovation #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #IBTR #ScienceSeries #23Qs

💡A promising RES Success Story for developing better, sustainable batteries💡 📋 "Optimization of composition and interfacial properties of halide solid electrolytes" led by Javier Carrasco from CIC energiGUNE 🔋The research tackled a crucial challenge in the development of high energy, sustainable solid state #batteries: the compatibility between the anode and the electrolyte They used highly conductive solid electrolytes of the argyrodite family, particularly Li6PS5Cl, and partially substituted the Sulfur with Selenium, increasing its ionic conductivity. However, the effect in the stability of the anode/electrolyte interface was still unknown 🖥 Thanks to RES supercomputer #Calendula from RES node SCAYLE Supercomputación Castilla y León, they could perform complex molecular simulations that unveiled how the selective substitution of anions accelerates the creation of an stable interface, solving compatibility issues 🚀 The results suggest that kinetic factors are key in an anode/electrolyte highly-ordered interface formation, which sets a promising milestone to develop more efficient, reliable and #sustainable batteries

Delighted to share that our recent paper, titled "Efficient #hydrogen splitting via single atom catalysts supported on Zn12O12 nanocage for sustainable clean fuel production" has been published at the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Q1 Journal). Hydrogen, as a #renewable_energy source, offers numerous advantages such as high energy density, zero carbon dioxide emissions, lightweight properties, and non-toxicity, making it a promising candidate for future #energy_systems. In many industrial processes, #hydrogen_dissociation reactions play a crucial role. These reactions involve breaking down H2 molecules into reactive hydrogen atoms, which then bind with support materials or catalysts. This enables the storage of significant amounts of hydrogen at low temperatures and pressures. The primary objective of our study is to design first-row transition metals (Sc–Zn) doped zinc oxide (Zn12O12) and investigate their thermodynamic stability, electronic properties, and ability to facilitate hydrogen dissociation reactions through DFT simulations. For more details, the paper is attached.
