With an intrinsic dendrite-free feature, high rate capability, facile cell fabrication and use of earth-abundance materials, liquid metal batteries (LMBs) are regarded as a promising solution to grid-scale stationary energy storage.
Batteries containing at least one liquid metal electrode can be termed as liquid metal batteries (LMBs).
practical operation of a liquid metal battery. The minimum cell the electrolyte and electrode materials. A reduced cell operating thermal management. In parallel, a lower operating temperature losses). By de finition, a liquid metal battery must have liquid segregation of the three liquid layers. In Table 6, the liquid electrode material is given.
Performance Results of Thermally Regenerative Bimetallic Cells Negative (orange) and positive (green) electrode material candidates for liquid metal batteries.
The fundamental difficulty with liquid metal batteries is keeping the battery’s lower working temperature, just above the melting temperature of the metallic anodes and cathodes. The battery’s higher temperature can cause problems such as corrosion, insulating seals, and thermal management.
Furthermore, liquid metal batteries have the potential for unprecedented operational life by avoiding the electrode solid-state decay and dendritic growth mechanisms that limit the life of traditional batteries, making them economically attractive for grid-level energy storage when amortized over their cycle life.
