With an intrinsic dendrite-free feature, high rate capability, facile cell fabrication and use of earth-abundance materials, liquid metal batteries (LMBs) are regarded as a promising solution to grid-scale stationary energy storage.
Lithium-ion batteries use lithium as the main element, along with other materials like nickel and cobalt. Nickel is used to increase the energy density of the battery, while cobalt is used to stabilize it.
Although conventional liquid metal batteries require high temperatures to liquify electrodes, and maintain the high conductivity of molten salt electrolytes, the degrees of electrochemical irreversibility induced by their corrosive active components emerged as a drawback.
Rechargeable liquid metal batteries are a type of battery that uses liquid metals as electrodes. They offer benefits such as ultrafast electrode charge-transfer kinetics and resistance to microstructural electrode degradation.
One representative group is the family of rechargeable liquid metal batteries, which were initially exploited with a view to implementing intermittent energy sources due to their specific benefits including their ultrafast electrode charge-transfer kinetics and their ability to resist microstructural electrode degradation.
Under this trend, lithium-ion batteries, as a new type of energy storage device, are attracting more and more attention and are widely used due to their many significant advantages.
