rechargeable Na/Cl battery with ultra-high rst discharge capacity and subsequent high reversible capacity gives a new life to decades old primary batteries. There is still room to further improve the battery performance. Novel electrolyte additives can be explored for more robust SEI to further prolong the battery cycle life. In addition, other positive electrode materials can also be investigated. Data Availability the authors declare that the data supporting the ndings of this study are available within the paper and its supplementary information les. Methods Synthesis of aCNS 50 mL of deionized water and 20 mL of ethanol (> 99.9 %, J. T. Baker) were mixed uniformly at room temperature. 0.25 g of triblock copolymer, F-127 (PEO106-PPO70-PEO106, MW: 14600, Aldrich), was then added in the mixture and stirred for about 10 minutes. After F-127 dissolved completely, 0.5 g of ammonia solution (25 %, Choneye, Taiwan) was then added in the solution and stirred for about 30 minutes followed by adding 0.5 g of resorcinol (99%, Alfa Aesar) into the solution. Finally, 0.763 g of formaldehyde solution (37 wt%, Aldrich) was added gradually into the solution and stirred for 24 hours at room temperature. The solution was centrifuged with 14,900 rpm to separate the solid and liquid. The solid was dried at 100 oC in oven and heated at 350 oC for 2 hours in N2 to remove the template. The carbonization process was conducted at 800 oC for 4 hours in N2 followed by the activation process using CO2 at 1000 °C for 45 minutes. Fabrication of aCNS electrode 90% by weight of aCNS and 10% by weight of polytetra uoroethylene (60% aqueous PTFE dispersion, FuelCellStore) were mixed in 100% ethanol (Fisher Scienti c). The mixture was sonicated for 2 hours until the aCNS was uniformly dispersed in ethanol. Ni foam substrate was cut into circular shape with diameter of 1.5 cm using a compact precision disc cutter (MTI, MSK-T-07). The circular Ni foam substrate was sonicated in 100% ethanol for 15 minutes and dried in an 80 oC oven until all the ethanol evaporated. The weight of the Ni foam substrate was measured and then placed to hover over a hot plate. The aCNS, PTFE and ethanol mixture was then slowly dropped (180 μL each time) onto the Ni foam. Between each drop, we waited for approximately 4 minutes to allow all the ethanol from previous drop to fully evaporate. This process was repeated and stopped until the loading of the aCNS on Ni foam substrate reached 4.5 – 5 mg/cm2. The electrodes were then dried in an 80 oC oven overnight. After drying, the electrode was pressed using a spaghetti roller and the nal weight of the electrode was measured. After calculating the weight of aCNS, i.e. nal weight of the electrode minus initial weight of the Ni foam times 90%, the electrode was ready to be used in a 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 | RSS | AMP |
