Newly designed three-electrode systems can be used to further increase the voltage efficiency dramatically. Figure 51 shows a schematic illustration of a solar seawater battery with a three-electrode system. Charging is performed by using the TNTs photoanode and discharging is performed by using the HCF cathode. In this way, the cell efficiency can be further increased by designing the solar seawater cell by dividing the charge/discharge part (Figure 51). In general, bifunctional catalysts that simultaneously improve the OER and ORR performances are rare. Therefore, it is more efficient to use a photoanode that can lower the charging voltage only in the charging process, and for the discharge process, a material with high ORR activity can be used. If the solar seawater cell is designed by separating the charge/discharge part, various photoanodes beyond TNTs photoanode can be applied. Catalysts such as Pt/C and transition metal oxide-based ones are well known as materials with good ORR characteristics applicable to seawater cells.34 When the charging part and discharging part were distinguished from each other, the voltage efficiency exceeded 100%. In the case of under illumination, charging was performed at ~2.65 V when using the photoanode, and the discharge voltage was ~2.9 V when using the HCF in the dark state at 0.015 mA cm-2 for 1 h (Figure 52). Therefore, the voltage efficiency was ~109%. A charge/discharge cycle test was performed to confirm the cycle stability. When we compared the first cycle and the tenth cycle, we were able to confirm that it operates stably without any significant difference. 83PDF Image | China solar seawater battery

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine
ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com (Standard Web Page)
