  • Zinc/Bromine Batteries
    SAND2000-0893 CHAPTER 37 ZINC/BROMINE BATTERIES Paul C. Butler, Phillip A. Eidler, Patrick G. Grimes, Sandra E. Klassen, and Ronald C. Miles 37.1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The zinc/bromine battery is an attractive technology for both utility-energy storage and electric-vehicle applications. The major advantages and disadvantages of this battery technology are listed in Table 37.1. The concept of a battery based on the zinc/bromine couple was patented over 100 years ago,’ but development to a commercial battery was blocked by two inherent properties: (1) the tendency of zinc to form dendrites upon deposition and (2) the high volubility of bromine in the aqueous zinc bromide electrolyte. Dendritic zinc deposits could easily short-circuit the cell, and the high volubility of bromine allows diffusion and direct reaction with the zinc electrode, resulting in self-discharge of the cell. Development programs at Exxon and Gould in the mid-1970s to early 1980s resulted in designs which overcame these problems, however, and allowed development to proceed.’ The Gould technology was developed further by the Energy Research Corporation but a high level of activity was not maintained. s-’ In the mid-1980s Exxon licensed its TABLE 37.1 Major Advantages and Disadvantages of Zinc/Bromine Battery Technology Advantages Disadvantages Circulating electrolyte allows for ease of thermal Auxiliary systems are required for circulation management and uniformity of reactant supply to and temperature control each cell System design must ensure safety as for all Good

  • Selection of Catalyst for Group Transfer Polymerization of 1-Butadienyloxytrimethylsilane
    Polymer Journal, Vol. 24, No. 7, pp 669-677 (1992) Selection of Catalyst for Group Transfer Polymerization of 1-Butadienyloxytrimethylsilane Hiroshi SuMI, Tadamichi HIRABAYASHI, Yoshihito INAI, and Kenji YoKOTA Department of Materials Science & Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Gokiso-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya 466, Japan (Received November 19, 1991) ABSTRACT: Catalytic activity of various Lewis acids in the group transfer polymerization (GTP) of 1-butadienyloxytrimethylsilane (BdTMS) initiated with benzaldehyde was investigated. Among the Lewis acids studied, three zinc halides (ZnBr2 , Znl2 , ZnC1 2) and HgBr2 gave soluble polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions in quantitative yields. The polymerizations proceeded apparently on the insoluble solid catalyst. The other soluble Lewis acid catalysts, including (C2H 5),A1Cl, A1Cl 3 , SnC14 , SnBr4 , and TiBr4 , gave polymers in moderate to poor yields and often gelled polymers. Through 1 H NMR monitoring of the polymerization, time vs. monomer and initiator consumption curves were obtained, and then initiation and propagation rates were estimated from slopes of the curves. Both rates were enhanced in an order of ZnBr2 >Znl2 >ZnC12 . This order is consistent with that of chemical shifts of formyl carbon of equimolar mixture of ZnX2 with benzaldehyde, as well as crotonaldehyde which is a model for a polymer end, in chloroform-d. This order was also compatible with the decreasing order in MwiM. values of the resulting polymers. Thus, use of ZnBr2 as the catalyst resulted

The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement saw the global community commit to avoiding global temperature increases by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. On its way to decarbonisation, and to be able to meet growing demand, the electricity sector is undergoing a major transformation as economies and consumers move away from fossil-energy-based power systems towards climate- friendly systems with an increased production and use of renewable energy. As the supply of renewable energy grows, energy storage becomes more important. The production of electricity from wind and solar can vary significantly throughout the day. As a result, electricity is not always consumed at the time it is produced. By storing, we can use clean electricity when we need it. Energy storage will play a key role in enabling economies globally to accelerate the energy transition. Currently there is limited storage of electricity in global electricity systems. On average only 30 minutes of electrical energy storage is available compared to 30 days for oil2. Demand for energy storage is therefore expected to increase as the supply of renewable energy grows. By expanding energy storage capacity, we will be able to fully exploit the growing capacities of renewable energy for a range of energy service applications from grid balancing to facility energy management.
