摘要: In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method of capturing carbon from seawater, the method including: flowing input seawater including bicarbonate and having a pH greater than 8 through a center compartment of an electrolytic cell, wherein the center compartment is disposed between an anode compartment and a cathode compartment of the electrolytic cell; acidifying the input seawater in the center compartment with a proton, to form acidified seawater; generating carbon dioxide in the center compartment including reaction of the proton with the bicarbonate from the input seawater; flowing acidified seawater out of the center compartment; contacting the acidified seawater with hydroxide or a hydroxide salt from the cathode compartment to generate basified seawater having a pH greater than 9; and flowing hydrogen generated in the cathode compartment to the anode compartment.

摘要: A method for selectively recovering a rare earth element (REE) from an alloy includes applying a potential of from -3.5 V to 0 V to an electrochemical cell comprising a anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte, wherein (i) the anode comprises an alloy comprising a REE, (ii) the cathode comprises a noble metal, and (iii) the electrolyte comprises an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt and a nonaqueous solvent. Under the applied potential, at least some of the REE is oxidatively dissolved from the anode and is electrodeposited onto the cathode to form an REE deposit.

摘要: Aqueous anolytes for redox flow batteries are disclosed. The anolytes include a fluorenone-fluorenol derivative, an additive comprising an organic compound including one or more proton acceptor groups, an alkali metal hydroxide, and water. The additive functions as a homogeneous organocatalyst and may increase the current density of an aqueous redox flow battery including the anolyte.

摘要: All-vanadium sulfate redox flow battery systems have a catholyte and an anolyte comprising an aqueous supporting solution including chloride ions and phosphate ions. The aqueous supporting solution stabilizes and increases the solubility of vanadium species in the electrolyte, allowing an increased vanadium concentration over a desired operating temperature range. According to one example, the chloride ions are provided by MgCl2, and the phosphate ions are provided by (NH4)2HPO4.

摘要: Described herein are systems and methods of storing and delivering electrical using hydrogen at low-cost and for long-durations. The systems and methods use energy-bearing redox pairs that electrochemically bear energy through decoupled hydrogen and oxygen consumption and/or evolution reactions, which are typically associated with fuel cells. Each species of the energy-bearing redox pair is associated with a standard electrode potential within a water electrolysis voltage window for the electrolyte solution. Electrical energy delivery, hydrogen generation, electrolyte regeneration, or combinations thereof can be performed by logically or physically separated unit operations in a continuous manner, batch manner, or semi-batch manner facilitated by the energy-bearing redox pair.

摘要: This document describes techniques and systems for in operando, non-invasive SOC monitoring of redox flow batteries. The described techniques and systems allow for accurate, inexpensive, portable, and real-time methods to measure the SOC of redox flow batteries. System operators can monitor the SOC by measuring an acoustic attenuation coefficient of the electrolyte in the redox flow battery. The acoustic attenuation coefficient is measured using an ultrasonic transducer attached to a probing cell, which is connected to an electrolyte flow of a redox flow battery. The acoustic attenuation coefficient provides an accurate, real-time SOC measurement that is generally insensitive to varying operational temperatures of the electrolyte solution.
