Impact of carbonaceous particles concentration in a nanofluidic electrolyte for vanadium redox flow batteries

Developments in fuel cells and electrochemical batteries using nanoparticles and nanofluids

“…By using a NF with MWCNT dispersed in it as the electrolyte, Kim and Park 241 reports that the energy density and the reversibility rate increased by 21.5% and 8.5% respectively. Lobato et al 242 also reports that nanofluids with a 0.04 wt% of carbon nanoparticles attained better efficiencies and capacities at higher current densities compared to that of the commercial vanadium electrolyte without nanocarbon particles.…”

Ionic Liquid and Ionanofluid-Based Redox Flow Batteries—A Mini Review

“…While choosing the type of nanofluid in redox flow batteries, the nanoparticle content should also be taken into account. Carbon-based vanadium nanofluids with different concentrations (0, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.08 wt.%) were used as electrolytes in redox flow batteries by Lobato et al [63]. The outcome indicated that not only did the greatest nanocarbon particle content have the lowest ohmic resistance, but also that all used nanofluids had stable behavior.…”
