TiO2 nanopowder as a high rate, long cycle life electrode in aqueous aluminium electrolyte

TiO2 nanopowder as a high rate, long cycle life electrode in aqueous aluminium electrolyte

TiO2 nanopowders have been used to manufacture negative electrodes and their cycle life, efficiency and rate capability investigated for use in aqueous Al-ion cells. A high efficiency of 99% was measured when an electrode was cycled at 7.2 A g−1 (360C) in 1 mol dm−3 AlCl3/1 mol dm−3 KCl and a discharge capacity of 20 mA h g−1 could be maintained for nearly 4000 cycles at 100 C. Also explored is the low coulombic efficiency seen for TiO2 in previous aqueous Al-ion publications, while mass loading and electrolyte O2 content affect coulombic efficiency. The high coulombic efficiency and charge/discharge current make these electrodes suitable for use in charge storage devices targeted at high power/low capacity applications, such as capturing bursts of power during regenerative breaking.

Abstract

TiO2 nanopowders have been used to manufacture negative electrodes and their cycle life, efficiency and rate capability investigated for use in aqueous Al-ion cells. A high efficiency of 99% was measured when an electrode was cycled at 7.2 A g−1 (360C) in 1 mol dm−3 AlCl3/1 mol dm−3 KCl and a discharge capacity of 20 mA h g−1 could be maintained for nearly 4000 cycles at 100 C. Also explored is the low coulombic efficiency seen for TiO2 in previous aqueous Al-ion publications, while mass loading and electrolyte O2 content affect coulombic efficiency. The high coulombic efficiency and charge/discharge current make these electrodes suitable for use in charge storage devices targeted at high power/low capacity applications, such as capturing bursts of power during regenerative breaking.
