The uniformity of electrolyte distribution in the electrode is affected by the geometry of the main channel and distribution ports in the flow field. This study optimizes the flow field of vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) based on biomimetic principles, designing an asymmetric vein bionic flow field. The branching structure of plant leaf veins can effectively control the flow of fluids, reduce turbulence and dead zones, and improve the distribution uniformity and flow efficiency of fluids. By analyzing the mechanisms through which flow field structure impacts internal battery processes, this work compares performance metrics, such as discharge voltage, porous electrode concentration, and pressure drop between symmetric and asymmetric flow fields. The results indicate that the electrolyte concentration at the inlet of the asymmetric flow field is at least 0.4 % higher than that of the symmetric, and the voltage efficiency of the asymmetric flow field improves by 0.13 %. The asymmetric flow field enhances the average concentration of the porous electrode by optimizing electrolyte distribution and increasing the infiltration of active species, thereby reducing polarization, lowering internal resistance, and improving the overall performance of the flow battery from multiple perspectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100560,"journal":{"name":"Future Batteries","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100017"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143131398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the contrary, the impedance spectrum of the blocked-diffusion Warburg impedance with frequency dispersion (BDWf) is represented by a straight-line with slope &lt; 45-degree angle at high frequencies followed by a constant phase element (CPE) response at low frequencies. In this study, the mathematical treatment reported in a previous study for the transfer function of the BDW impedance is extended for the derivation of a transfer function representing the BDWf impedance. The new transfer function representing the BDWf impedance is able to reveal the contribution of the diffusion process which is overlapped with the CPE behaviour in the BDWf impedance spectrum. The transfer function representing the BDWf impedance developed in this study and the transfer function representing the finite-length Warburg (FLW) impedance presented in a different study have been considered in an equivalent electrical circuit (EEC) configuration constructed in MATLAB/Simulink environment to simulate the frequency-impedance spectrum and output voltage response of a Lithium-ion battery. The effect of the electrode diffusion distance of lithium ions on the frequency-impedance spectrum and output voltage response of a Li-ion battery is simulated through the Simulink model of the battery.

LATP and LAGP are less stable in air than in inert gas when in contact with NCM and LCO. However, their thermal stabilities are similar in both air and inert gas when mixed with LMO and LCP. In the composite samples of LATP/LAGP+LMO, only traces of the impurities were detected at 700 °C due to the decomposition of LATP/LAGP.

Herein, we synthesize biomass derived activated carbon from Xanthosoma violaceum (Blue Taro) leaf stalk (LSXV-AC) by implementing facile green synthesis approach. Owing to naturally rich porous texture, LSXV-AC posses high specific surface area of 860 m²g⁻¹ with average pore size of 2.58 nm. Also, elemental compositions and functional groups of carbon and oxygen present in sample were analysed by EDX analysis and FTIR spectroscopy.
