Batteries and Fuel Cells

24.0K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Weak Acid Solutions

31.2K
Few compounds act as strong acids. A far greater number of compounds behave as weak acids and only partially react with water, leaving a large majority of dissolved molecules in their original form and generating a relatively small amount of hydronium ions. Weak acids are commonly encountered in nature, being the substances partly responsible for the tangy taste of citrus fruits, the stinging sensation of insect bites, and the unpleasant smells associated with body odor. A familiar example of a...

Spontaneous Chemical Reactions
Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...

Electrochemical Cells

Electrochemical cells are systems that convert chemical energy into electrical energy or use electrical energy to drive chemical reactions. They consist of two electrodes in contact with an electrolyte, where redox reactions enable electron transfer. Most electrochemical cells include two half-cells connected by an external wire for electron flow and a salt bridge for ion flow. The salt bridge contains an electrolyte solution and maintains charge neutrality by allowing ions—not...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries are advanced power sources but face component challenges.
  • Liquid electrolytes in conventional Li-O2 batteries present safety and performance limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel solid polymer electrolyte (SPE)-based Li-O2 battery system.
  • To evaluate the performance of an SPE Li-O2 cell operated above the polymer's melting point.

Main Methods:

  • Potentiodynamic and galvanostatic studies were employed for cell analysis.
  • Comparison of an SPE-based Li-O2 cell against a liquid electrolyte (glyme)-based Li-O2 cell.

Main Results:

  • The SPE-based Li-O2 cell exhibited an 80 mV higher discharge voltage.
  • A significant 400 mV lower charge voltage was observed for the SPE cell.
  • Comparable discharge-specific capacity was achieved at the same current density.

Conclusions:

  • The developed solid-state, PEO-based Li-O2 battery offers enhanced safety and improved voltage efficiency.
  • This SPE-based approach shows potential to overcome limitations of liquid-based Li-O2 batteries.
