Improved Cerium-Hydrogen Redox Flow Cell
The Ce/H2 redox flow cell is a promising system for large-scale energy storage due to its high open circuit potential (OCV) relative to other aqueous systems.[1] The system consists of an electrochemical cell which is fed reactants from storage tanks containing gaseous hydrogen (negative side) and an aqueous solution of Ce3+ and Ce4+ (positive side). During discharge, hydrogen … [Read more...] about Improved Cerium-Hydrogen Redox Flow Cell
