Energy Harvesting and Smart Wearable Technologies

 Energy Storage

Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) promises a route to low-cost and grid-scale electricity storage using renewable energy resources. However, the interplay of mass transport and activation processes of high-loading catalysts makes it challenging to drive high-performance density VRFB.

The developed RFB utilizes a surface-to-pore interface design that unlocks the potential of atomic-Bi-exposed catalytic surface via decoupling activation and transport. Therefore, a high-performance flow battery is achieved, yielding a record high energy efficiency.
