Merited by its fast proton diffusion kinetics, proton batteries are qualified as one of the most next-generation energy storage devices. The recent emergence and explosive development of various proton batteries requires us to re-examine the relationship between protons and electrode materials.
Proton batteries transfer protons through a selective membrane, where they combine with electrons and oxygen to generate energy. The process relies on three key components: the anode, the proton-exchange membrane, and the cathode. Anode: The anode typically consists of hydrogen-rich compounds or organic materials capable of releasing protons.
In addition, for proton storage host materials, at least one of the cathode and anode has proton storage sites, so that proton storage can be realized. As a matter of fact, the development of proton batteries can be traced back to lead-acid batteries, and proton storage is realized through chemical conversion .
Proton batteries, by contrast, utilize abundant materials and produce water as their primary byproduct, offering a potentially greener, safer, and more efficient energy storage solution. These attributes make them particularly appealing for applications such as grid-scale energy storage and electric vehicles. 1
Protons have the smallest ionic radius and mass of all elements, which allows them to diffuse quickly. Using protons results in batteries with high energy and power density, plus, protons are relatively inexpensive, produce zero carbon emissions and are fast charging. “There are many benefits to proton batteries,” says Mr Wu.
In this review, we introduce the recent research progress of proton batteries from three aspects and their integration: proton migration pathway (electrolyte), interfacial transport (electrolyte/electrode interface), and proton conduction mechanism (electrode structure).
