“…Ni–Fe Batteries : The Ni–Fe prototype cell, with a novel α‐Fe 2 O 3 /CNFs composite anode and β‐Ni(OH) 2 cathode and an aqueous solution of 1 m LiOH and 3 m KOH as the electrolyte, exhibited a high average operating potential voltage of 1.5 V, which is mainly derived from the lithium intercalation/extraction process of the anode material . The Ni–Fe alkaline batteries using a FeS/C–Bi 2 O 3 ‐mixed electrode as the anode showed potential in the design of low‐cost large‐scale energy storage systems . Posada and Hall performed a multivariate investigation of the parameters for the development and improvement of Ni–Fe batteries and found that bismuth sulfide helped to increase the Coulombic efficiency by mitigating the hydrogen evolution on the electrode, and potassium sulfide presented the same behavior .…”

In recent years, noticeable progress is achieved regarding alkaline rechargeable batteries (ARBs). Due to their merits of safety and low cost, ARBs are considered promising energy storage sources for large-scale grid energy storage, electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles, as well as wearable and portable devices. While previous reviews have focused on specific topics associated with ARBs, providing a comprehensive review on rechargeable alkaline batteries is both timely and worthwhile. In this review, the recent progress in ARBs is summarized and the strategies underlying rational electrode designs for cathodes and anodes are highlighted, as well as their applications in full cells including flexible batteries. This review may pave the way for further designs of high-performance alkaline batteries. and a LiMn 2 O 4 cathode in 1994. [10] However, the electrolyzation of H 2 O limits the operating voltage window of ARABs, which are stable within ≈1.23 V. Furthermore, the electrode materials should be selected so that they avoid the electrolysis of H 2 O and maintain chemical stability in H 2 O. [3a] However, the preferred LIB cathodes, such as LiCoO 2 , LiMn 2 O 4 , and LiFePO 4 , which display a reversible capacity of 140, [11] 120, [12] and 170 mAh g −1 , [13] respectively, exhibit narrow working potentials and high stability in aqueous solutions but can take part in one-electron reactions at most. In addition, promising anode materials, such as VO 2 , [14] V 2 O 5 , [15] and H 2 V 3 O 8 , [16] possess the theoretical capacity or show the highest reversible capacity of only 161.6, 200, and 234 mAh g −1 , respectively, [3a] thereby leading to a full cell with a low energy density under the limited operating voltage window in aqueous electrolytes. Although the so-called "water-in-salt" electrolyte and its many variations can enable aqueous batteries with an electrochemical stability window of >3.0 V and an energy density of 200 Wh kg −1 , respectively, the ultrahighly concentrated electrolyte makes the cost too high for practical applications. [17] Since the early 20th century, alkaline rechargeable batteries (ARBs) based on nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) and nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) have been established and developed by Jüngner and Edison. [18] These batteries, which use alkaline solution as electrolytes, undergo an entirely different storage mechanism from ARABs and involve H + insertion/extraction and conversion processes from the alkali-metal ion insertion/extraction. Take the reaction mechanism of Ni-Fe batteries as an example

“…Recently, pure iron sulphide electrodes were reported as anode alternatives worth taking seriously [13][14][15]. In our previous research, we have been exploring Fe/FeS-based anodes in the region of low composition of FeS [16,17]; this manuscript goes beyond and answers what happens when the concentration of iron sulphide exceeds 50 %.…”

NiFe batteries are emerging as an important energy storage technology but suffer from a hydrogenproducing side reaction which has safety implications and reduces coulombic efficiency. This manuscript describes a systematic improvement approach for the production of Fe/ FeS-based anodes at high concentrations of iron sulphide. Electrodes were made by mixing varying amounts of iron sulphide in such a way that its concentration ranges from between 50 and 100 % (compositions expressed on a PTFE-free basis). Electrode performance was evaluated by cycling our in-house-produced anodes against commercially available nickel electrodes. The results show that anodes produced with larger concentrations outperform their lower concentration counterparts in terms of coulombic efficiency although a slight decrease in the overall cell performance was found when using pure FeS anodes. At high FeS concentrations a hydrogen-producing side reaction has been virtually eliminated resulting in coulombic efficiencies of over 95 %. This has important implications for the safety and commercial development of NiFe batteries. Graphical AbstractKeywords FeS anode Á FeS electrode Á NiFe

“…19 Other major problems like low active material utilization and passivation induced capacity decay may take place. To subdue these problems, nano iron materials and nano-carbon composites have been used; [24][25][26][27][28] albeit particle agglomeration and increased hydrogen evolution were found to be the primary causes of failure to achieve several charge/discharge cycles. 24,29,30 C-Y Kao et al 31 have recently reported a nano iron/copper composite material with high concentration of Cu displaying a high rate discharge capacity of 800 mAh g −1 and at a mass activity of 3200 mA g −1 .…”

In this work, we have studied a 2% copper substituted core shell type iron/iron carbide as a negative electrode for application in energy storage. The NanoFe-Fe 3 C-Cu delivered 367 mAh g −1 at ≈80% current efficiency, successfully running for over 300 cycles. The superior electrode kinetics and performance were assessed by rate capability, galvanostatic, potentiodynamic polarization measurements in 6 M KOH electrolyte and at ambient temperature. Ex-situ XRD characterizations and SEM images of both the fresh and used electrode surfaces show that nanoparticles were found to be still intact with negligible particle agglomeration. The electrodes have shown stable performances with low capacity decay, whereas sulfur dissolution from the additive Bi 2 S 3 was found to decrease the charging efficiency with time. This core-shell type structured nano material is, consequently, an auspicious anode candidate in alkaline-metal/air and Ni-Fe battery systems. Electricity generation away from fossil fuels by renewable energy resources (RER) is increasing at a remarkable pace both as a means of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions as well as offsetting the global energy demand for sustainable development. Since the end of the 1990s, the world cumulative energy generation by both wind and solar has shown an exponential growth rate. In 2015, the global installed capacity of photovoltaics was 227.1 GW an increase by 25% and the total installed wind power was 432.9 GW, a rise by 17% compared to 2014 for both energy systems.1,2 However, both wind and solar are very dependent on weather conditions and there is a high quest for electrical energy storage (EES) for integration with these renewables. The variability in energy output is due to the stochastic nature and availability of the renewable sources, unreliable demand and supply of electricity, distributed energy generation, maintenance and utilization of load balance in peak shaving and leveling, stabilization of transmission and distribution to the grid, uninterruptable power supply with frequency control, voltage fluctuations and energy arbitrage. EES is considered to be vital and indispensable technology for both utility and transport applications.1,3-7 Among EES technologies, electrochemical energy storage systems in the form of batteries have characteristic features in the form of modularity and scalability, fast response time and high energy efficiency, although they do significantly differ in energy and power densities, charge and discharge duration, cycling behavior and capital cost.There are several rechargeable (secondary) battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are widely used or are under demonstrations/development phases and these among others include; lead-acid, Li-ion, the nickel-based batteries (Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, Ni-Fe, Ni-Zn, NaNiCl 2 ), redox flow batteries (Vanadium, Zn-Br, Zn-Cl, Zn-Ce, FeCr, V-Br), NaS and Air-metal batteries (Fe-air, Zn-air, Li-air, Mgair).6-10 The last type of "batteries" are essentially a hybridization of anodes in the form of metals and a f...
