Recent Advances in the Development of Organic and Organometallic Redox Shuttles for Lithium‐Ion Redox Flow Batteries
Résumé
In the recent years, redox flow batteries (RFBs) and derivatives have attracted a wide attention from academia to industrial world because of their ability to accelerate large-grid energy storage. Even though the vanadium based RFBs are commercially available, they possess a low energy and power density that might limit their use in further industrial scale. Seeking for improving the performance of RFBs is still an open field for research and development. Herein, a combination between a conventional Li-ion battery and a redox flow battery results in a significant improvement in terms of energy and power density alongside with higher safety and lower cost. Currently, lithium-ion redox flow batteries are becoming a well-established sub-domain in the field of flow battery. Accordingly, design of novel redox mediators with controllable physical chemical characteristics is crucial for bossting this technology to industrial applications. This review summarizes the recent works devoted to the development of novel redox mediators in lithium-ion redox flow batteries.
