Ruben - Simon Kühnel and David Reber, researchers from Empa's Materials for Energy Conversion Laboratory, have now discovered a way to potentially solve the problem: The saline electrolyte has to be liquid but so concentrated as not to contain any «surplus» water.

Flow batteries also charge quickly and last for thousands of cycles, but needed materials such as energy - dense electrolytes and ion exchange membranes remain expensive.

To keep up with our advancing mobile technology, energy storage devices have been subject to material shrinking in the design process, which has left them vulnerable to short circuiting — as in recent cases with Samsung's Galaxy Note devices — which, when compounded with the presence of a flammable electrolyte liquid, can create an explosive situation.

To ensure safety, additives to electrolytes, such as nanodiamonds, need to be combined with other precautions, such as using non-flammable electrolytes, safer electrode materials and stronger separators.»

The early version of the fuel cell uses an expensive material called an ionic liquid as the electrolyte, for example.

Now, A * STAR researchers have created a self - assembling polymeric material that changes its structure when moved from water to an electrolyte solution, such as salt water.

But manufacturers of high - energy applications such as electric cars and power storage systems seek for new electrode materials and electrolytes.

«Another, unexpected bonus of this electrolyte's high energy density is it could potentially expand the use of flow batteries into mobile applications such as powering trains and cars,» said the study's corresponding author, Wei Wang, a materials scientist at DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Now Ulrich Schubert and colleagues have developed a redox - flow battery that uses organic polymers as the charge - storage material, in combination with inexpensive dialysis membranes and an aqueous sodium chloride solution as the electrolyte.

Here we describe an affordable, safe, and scalable battery system, which uses organic polymers as the charge - storage material in combination with inexpensive dialysis membranes, which separate the anode and the cathode by the retention of the non-metallic, active (macro-molecular) species, and an aqueous sodium chloride solution as the electrolyte.

In batteries, as in any electrochemical device, critical processes happen where the electrolyte and active material meet at the solid electrode.
