This Flow Battery Operates With No Pump Required

Flow batteries are rather unique. They generate electricity by the combination of two fluids flowing on either side of a membrane. Typically, this involves the use of some kind of pump to get every…

Zn-Br sulfamate battery stability

On a previous post I discussed my first attempts at reproducing the Na-sulfamate based Zn-Br battery published by a group of Chinese researchers. My results showed that the chemistry works mostly as they showed, but I was unable to reproduce both the capacity and stability properties of their testing results. This post summarizes some additional research results I obtained with this chemistry and why, I believe, my results have been unable to match theirs. From the get go, my results showed […]

Reproducing Zn-Br flow batteries using Sodium Sulfamate

A recent Chinese Nature paper showed how Sodium sulfamate can be used in Zn-Br batteries to sequester active Br2 into an N-bromosulfamate that is much less aggressive, much more water soluble and even more easily electrochemically reversible than elemental bromine. I also wrote a recent post discussing the potential use of nicotinamide to achieve this (plot twist, it doesn't work as the nicotinamide Zn complex is not very soluble). In today's post I want to share with you my attempts at […]

Could we create a Zn-Br flow battery using Nicotinamide?

Zinc bromide flow batteries have been researched very extensively during the past 30 years. There are many advantages to this chemistry, very high potential (~1.8V), high efficiencies, symmetric electrolyte and low reagent costs. Nonetheless, the disadvantages are also huge: zinc dendrites, hydrogen evolution, bromine corrosion, etc. Despite all the development, a lot of these disadvantages remain insurmountable. A recent nature paper has disrupted the field by using sulfamate ions as a […]
