Electrodes with silicon oxide active materials for lithium ion cells achieving high capacity, high energy density and long cycle life performance

Improved negative electrodes can comprise a silicon based active material blended with graphite to provide more stable cycling at high energy densities. In some embodiments, the negative electrodes comprise a blend of polyimide binder mixed with a more elastic polymer binder with a nanoscale carbon conductive additive. The silicon-based blended graphite negative electrodes can be matched with positive electrodes comprising nickel rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides to form high energy density cells with good cycling properties.

High capacity organic radical mediated phosphorous anode for redox flow batteries

A battery includes a redox flow anode chamber coupled to an anode current collector, a separator, and an external container in fluid connection with the redox flow anode chamber. The external container has therein a solid phosphorus material. A first redox-active mediator and the second redox-active mediator are circulated through the half-cell electrode chamber and the external container. During a charging cycle the first redox-active mediator is reduced at the current collector electrode and the reduced first mediator reduces the phosphorus material, and wherein during a discharging cycle the second redox-active mediator is oxidized at the anode current collector electrode, and the second redox-active mediator is then reduced by the reduced phosphorus material. A method of operating a battery and a method of making a battery are also discussed.

Guiding Sustainable Hydrogen Integration: A Capacity Building Approach

The Hydrogen Considerations Tree is designed to empower institutions to explore and consider the costs, benefits, and tradeoffs of hydrogen and its derivatives (e.g. e-fuels and green ammonia) and inform hydrogen strategy, policy and investment decisions within unique contexts around the world. Key topics are organized into a "Considerations Tree," enabling stakeholders to explore technical, regulatory, economic, environmental, social, and other analysis questions systematically and holistically.
