Rechargeable membrane-less hydrogen bromine flow battery shows high power density

Green Car Congress

During discharge, liquid bromine is reduced to hydrobromic acid along the lower solid graphite electrode, and hydrogen is oxidized at the upper porous electrode. MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. Credit: Braff et al. Click to enlarge.
