Salgenx 18 MW Grid-Scale Battery Storage
New innovations in electrode design and ion transport set a new benchmark for large-scale energy storage using zinc chloride brine flow battery technology
MADISON, Wisconsin, August 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Salgenx, a pioneering leader in energy storage solutions, is proud to announce its latest advancements in zinc chloride brine flow battery technology. Combining cutting-edge rotating anode design and optimized zinc ion transfer mechanisms, Salgenx's innovations are expected to significantly improve the efficiency, durability and overall performance of large-scale battery systems. These developments not only improve energy storage capabilities but also pave new avenues for efficient hydrogen production, marking a milestone in sustainable energy technology.
Rotating anode technology: Dramatic improvement in electrode efficiency
At the heart of Salgenx's latest innovation is rotating anode technology designed to optimize the performance of anodes in zinc chloride brine batteries. Traditionally, the chlorine gas generation process at the anode can be compromised by gas bubbles that accumulate on the electrode surface, reducing the effective electrode area and reducing efficiency. The rotating anode addresses this challenge by mechanically removing these gas bubbles, maintaining a clean, active electrode surface.
Optimized zinc ion transfer: Improving the efficiency of batteries and on-demand hydrogen production
In addition to the rotating anode, Salgenx has also made significant advances in the mechanism of zinc ion migration within the battery. During operation of a zinc chloride brine battery, zinc ions separate from the zinc chloride in the electrolyte and migrate toward the cathode. The efficiency of this process is critical to the overall performance of the battery.
Salgenx research has identified key factors that affect the efficient transfer of zinc ions.
• Ion movement and electrolyte conductivity: Zinc ions move through the electrolyte under the influence of an electric field. Salgenx optimizes the electrolyte composition and maintains a strong electric field to ensure that zinc ions are efficiently reduced at the cathode, resulting in effective energy storage.
• Preventing dendrite formation: One of the challenges with zinc-based batteries is the formation of dendrites, needle-like structures that can short out the battery. Salgenx's rotating anode mitigates this issue by maintaining a constant flow of ions, reducing the chance of uneven deposition of zinc. The cathode design also helps reduce dendrite formation.
• Electrolyte circulation and additives: Salgenx also explored the use of electrolyte circulation and special additives to maintain a uniform zinc ion concentration near the cathode, further improving the efficiency and safety of the battery system.
Key features and benefits of Salgenx innovation:
• Improved electrode efficiency: The rotating anode removes air bubbles from the surface, maximizing the electrochemical reaction and reducing overpotentials.
• Improved gas management: This technology effectively manages gas evolution, prevents the formation of gas pockets and ensures uniform distribution of ions in the electrolyte.
• Optimized Zinc Ion Transport: Through careful management of ion transport, electrolyte composition and innovative design, Salgenx has significantly improved the efficiency of zinc ion reduction and energy storage.
• Improved durability: The use of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials in the rotating anode ensures long-term durability in the harsh electrochemical environment of a seawater battery.
• Scalability: Designed for large-scale deployment, Salgenx's innovations are suited to grid-scale energy storage systems and applications that require high reliability and efficiency.
