Abstract:
Poisoning of the hydrogen electrode by ion, and intercalation of carbonbased bromine electrodes are life-limiting factors in state-of-the-art hydrogen/bromine
batteries. Electrocatalysts which have improved resistance to these limiting factors
were identified, prepared and evaluated. These electrocatalysts were evaluated in
half-cell configuration as well as in a complete hydrogen/bromine battery based on
a solid polymer electrolyte configuration. The complete battery was successfully
subjected to over 150 quick charge/discharge cycles. This technology, after optimization
will lead to stable and efficient hydrogen/bromine batteries for long-term applications
of NASA such as space stations.
