A Self-Stratified Thermally Regenerative Battery Using Nanoprism Cu Covering Ni Electrodes for Low-Grade Waste Heat Recovery

Yu Shi et al.

Summary: Developing a low-cost and high-performance thermally regenerative battery (TRB) is significant for recovering low-grade waste heat. A self-stratified TRB induced by the density difference between electrolytes is proposed, which avoids the use of commercial anion exchange membrane and prevents ammonia crossover. The adoption of nanoprism Cu covering Ni electrodes with a high specific surface area and stable framework in the self-stratified TRB results in a maximum power density of 12.7 mW cm-2 and a theoretical heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 2.4%.

Power generation enhancement of a membrane-free thermally regenerative battery induced by the density difference of electrolytes

Yu Shi et al.

Summary: The development of a low-cost and high-performance thermally regenerative battery, M-TRB, is a potential choice for waste heat recovery.
