Abstract |
Energy storage systems (ESSs) using a Br-Br2 redox reaction such as a Zn/Br redox flow battery (RFB) or a redox-enhanced electrochemical capacitor (Redox-EC) suffer from self-discharge reactions resulting in significant coulombic loss. To inhibit the self-discharge, quaternary ammonium (Q+) and tetraalkylammonium (T+) bromide are added to form ionic liquid (QBr2n+1) and solid (TBr3) polybromides during the ESS charging process. The electrochemical formation of liquid QBr2n+1 and its electrochemical properties have been examined. The detailed mechanisms of ionic solid TBr3 formation, however, have not yet been explored. In this article, we analyzed the ionic liquid-to-solid phase transition of TBr3 particles using a time transient electrochemical method. We suggest the formation of ionic solid TBr3 particles via hydrated TBr3 droplets as an intermediate phase, which are generated by electro-oxidation of Br- in an aqueous TBr solution. We found the phase transition time of TBr3 particles is strongly dependent on the chemical structure of T+ and the concentration of TBr in an aqueous solution. |
