Cover Feature: Unlocking High Capacity and Reversible Alkaline Iron Redox Using Silicate‐Sodium Hydroxide Hybrid Electrolytes (ChemSusChem 19/2024)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The Cover Feature shows the stark contrast between an alkaline iron battery system using silicate electrolyte additive (left) and a conventional one (right). The silicate molecules (yellow tetrahedrons) interact with the iron oxide surface to repel parasitic water molecules, thereby promoting reversible Fe(OH)2/FeOOH redox and mitigating the build-up of Fe3O4 by-product during cycling. This finding could expedite the development of low-cost and safe iron batteries for modern grid-scale energy storage. More information can be found in the Research Article by B. Narayanan, X. Teng and co-workers.
