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

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. The rapid and reversible reaction kinetics of both the bromine reduction reaction and the hydrogen oxidation reaction minimize activation losses, while the low cost ($1.39 Credit: Braff et al.
