What kind of changes will fuel membraneless batteries bring to vehicles

If electric vehicles can also be refueled and left like fuel vehicles, the emergence of fuel membraneless batteries will all realize this idea. By replacing the electrolyte in the battery to realize the supplement of electricity, it will not only save charging time, but also no need to build more. The rapid development of electric vehicles has put forward higher and higher requirements for fast charging technology. Purdue University in the United States invented a fast-charging battery, which can make charging as fast as refueling, which is almost'immediately desirable'. Although many people see the benefits of electric vehicles, which are environmentally friendly and cheap, they still choose gasoline-powered vehicles. One of the major reasons is that electric vehicles are too troublesome to charge. Except that charging piles are not available everywhere, the distribution area is not as wide as the gas station. Another key factor is that the charging speed is too slow, and it is far from being as straightforward as the refueling. No one wants to be on the halfway, because the battery suddenly stops in a place and recharges for an hour before continuing. But if charging can be as fast as refueling, this drawback of electric vehicles will almost be greatly offset. Purdue University professors have developed a new battery that can achieve this goal. These scientists are also the founders of Ifbattery. What they developed is a fuel cell that re-energizes the battery by replacing the electrolyte. In other words, replace the used electrolyte with new electrolyte. In this way, the charging time is greatly saved, and there is no need to build many new charging facilities. This is a mobile battery. The main feature of the flow battery is that the electrolyte solution can be adjusted outside the battery through the circulation of the electrolyte solution to maintain the stability of the solution concentration around the electrodes inside the battery. According to Mike Mueterthies, the third co-founder of the company and a professor at Purdue University, although there are other mobile batteries on the market, Ifbattery is the first company to remove the exchange membrane (membrane). Take the common proton exchange membrane fuel cell (proton exchange membrane fuel cell) as an example, which is equivalent to the'reverse' device of water electrolysis in principle. Proton exchange membrane is one of the core components of this fuel cell. It is a selectively permeable membrane that only allows H+ to pass through, while the electrons lost by H2 pass through the wire to complete the chemical reaction required by the battery. Membrane contamination can shorten the life of the battery, and there is a risk of fire. Because the exchange membrane is removed, Ifbattery's batteries can be safely stored at home, providing sufficient safety at both production and sales ends. Changing the electrolyte is of course easy and enjoyable for the driver. However, the next question is, how to deal with the waste electrolyte? According to reports, these waste electrolyte can absorb solar energy and transport it in bulk to solar farms, wind turbines or hydropower stations for power supply. This can be reused many times. He believes that this technology can replace many current energy supply systems, including underground pipeline systems, railways, trucks, gas stations and oil refineries. At present, the market for electric vehicles is developing rapidly. In April 2017, global sales of electric vehicles increased by 30% year-on-year to 68,116 units, while cumulative sales increased by 36% year-on-year to 258,985 units. At this rate, global sales of electric vehicles are expected to exceed the 1 million mark this year. As a kind of electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles have no restrictions on charging, and are more environmentally friendly than gasoline vehicles, and are now gaining more and more recognition. Many Japanese car companies have invested in this field. In the United States, GM and Honda have already cooperated to build a factory in Michigan to introduce the next generation of propulsion systems for fuel cell vehicles. In addition, 11 companies including Honda, Nissan and Toyota have signed a memorandum of understanding to help expand Japan's fuel cell (automotive) market. Their goal is to install 160 new hydrogen fuel stations across Japan by 2020, and to drive 40,000 fuel cell vehicles on the road in the same year. In the process of the rise of fuel cell vehicles, the membraneless flow battery developed by Purdue University professors is not known whether they can achieve their ambitious goals, but we believe that they can at least contribute to the expansion of this market.
