Suspension Electrodes for Flow-Assisted Electrochemical Systems

摘要: This chapter focuses on describing a new family of flowable electrochemical systems based suspension electrodes to address key critical infrastructure needs: grid energy storage and water desalination. The research described herein combines classical aspects electrochemistry, colloidal science, material rheology explain characterize ion charge percolation processes in electrodes. Comprised an active suspended electrolytic medium, their use enables, for the first time, scalability electrical devices (supercapacitors batteries). Moreover, it expands principle supercapacitors beyond small-scale emerging applications such as deionization generation.
