Provided herein is a redox flow battery comprising an anode comprising anodic redox mediators; a negative electrolyte tank comprising an anolyte; and an anode pump capable of circulating the anolyte through the anode. The redox flow battery further comprises a cathode comprising cathodic redox mediators; a positive electrolyte tank comprising a catholyte and a cathode pump capable of circulating the catholyte through the cathode. A separator is between the anode and cathode.

Redox-active interfaces for accelerated liquid-solid charge transfer reactions

Methods compositions for controlling lithium-ion cell performance, using thermally responsive electrolytes incorporating compounds that exhibit a phase transition at elevated temperatures and are suited for incorporation into lithium-ion and lithium-metal cells are disclosed.

Thermally responsive electrolytes

Embodiments of the present disclosure, in one aspect, relate to composites including a carbon nanomaterial having a redox-active material, such as a polymer containing redox groups, disposed on the carbon nanomaterial, methods of making the composite, methods of storing energy, and the like.

Polymer-nanocarbon composites, methods of making composites, and energy storage devices including the composite

A programmable pH buffer comprises a copolymer that changes pKat a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water. The copolymer comprises a thermally programmable polymer that undergoes a hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic phase change at the LCST and an electrolytic polymer that exhibits acid-base properties that are responsive to the phase change. The programmable pH buffer can be used to sequester COinto water.
