Superconductivity Use for Redox Flow Batteries
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Here are presented ideas on moving power from the power grid to redox flow batteries, and the reverse. The thought is to provide the electrochemical stack unit with DC power from the power grid using high-temperature superconducting (SC) lines, which require the least maintenance, the lowest cost of materials, and the simplest solid-state chemistry employed to manufacture stable SC lines. The chemistry behind making the SC lines is provided in terms of discussing the electronic orbitals, the physics thought to underline the phenomenon, and ways to elevate the superconducting critical temperature TC. The higher the TC, the more likely SC technology is to be utilized.
