Daniel, have you looked at the technology being developed by e-Tech? It appears to be a plating technology, but the difference is that the metallic zinc is deliberately dislodged from the receiving electrode. Seems like a clever way of preventing discharge and ultimately, do away with dendrite...

I am a peer reviewer. I remember getting asked by an editor to “rush a paper” through.... the author was very well known.... I refused to do it. The paper was published, but with changes. Peer review should be a critical review, regardless of the “name” or reputation submitting it. Glad I...

You’re referring to the Zinc-Bromine Static Battery Paper, right? A High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Bromine Static Battery LujieGao12ZhuxinLi1YipingZou1ShuangfengYin1PengPeng3YuyingShao3XiaoLiang124 It’s sad when peer review means nothing.....

Thanks for that. I’ve been looking at PVDF as a polymer base for electrodes, especially in the context of bipolar electrodes in higher total voltage per cell. I was surprised to find out that there is information on bipolar configurations for LAB systems. Thanks for the link. Doug (I’ve been...

How are you affixing the current collector to the Carbon?

bromine is an element (like most other gases) that exists as a liquid Under specific temps/pressures. The TPAB in the paper being referred to seems to be a pretty effective barrier to bromine migration. Is TMAP or TEAB equally effective? TBAP was a bit pricey, here in Canada.

Funny, I’ve had the same feelings. I smile each time he describes the “3 types of people”. clearly, he’s saying that the least trustworthy of the 3 are those involved in battery development - and yet we accept all things on the channel at face value. Reminiscent of the ”frog and the...
