I have read your last paper. I think you are on the right track (like me) for future EV. What do you think to use polyphenols as hydrogen carriers?
I'm working on that rendering plyphenols water soluble, use a proton axchange mebrane and a doped air cathode.
Recharging is performed outboard of EV.
Also, since there are current peack problems in EV, I'm working on a all-solid organic battery that move calcium ions very fast, like a supercapacitor, and it work in parallel with the hybrid redox/fuel cell.
It is based on a doped polymer with anode/cathode active carbonyl mixed with that polymers and separated by the same polymer withoud active polyphenols.
Hello Dr Leonardo Naibo,
As far I know, polyphenols can be oxidised very easily, which is a very good characteristic in support to PEMFCs. Very high FC efficiency can be achieved with this material. However, I am not sure of its charging (I mean hydrogenation of polyphenols) capacity. I am sure that if the material is customised to control its unwanted oxidation process, and better hydrogen absorptivity (say more than 2 wt%) it will be a breakthrough in the field.
I am feeling very interested on your all-solid organic battery! Will it be as effective as supercapacitors?
Looking forward to see your success and to learn from your experiences.
Best Regards,
Sajid
