As one of the most important components of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB),the electrolyte can impose a significant impact on cell properties,performance and capital cost.In particular,the electrolyte composition will influence energy density,operating temperature range and the practical applications of the VRFB.Various approaches to increase the energy density and operating temperature range have been proposed.The presence of electrolyte impurities,or the addition of a small amount of other chemical species into the vanadium solution can alter the stability of the electrolyte and influence cell performance,operating temperature range,energy density,electrochemical kinetics and cost effectiveness.This review provides a detailed overview of research on electrolyte additives including stabilizing agents,immobilizing agents,kinetic enhancers,as well as electrolyte impurities and chemical reductants that can be used for different purposes in the VRFBs.

The laminated porous N-deficient g-C3N4 (CN –H) is successfully synthesized by a facile two-step hy-drothermal calcination method using oxalic acid-assisted melamine as the precursor. Compared with pristine g-C3N4 (224 μmol g 1 h 1 ), the CN –H shows supe
Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) was conducted over LaAlO3_X catalysts that were prepared by a coprecipitation method using different co-precipitation pH values (X=6-10).The aim is to investigate the effect of pH values on the catalytic activity of LaA
A double active center system,namely Salen-Cu(ll)@MIL-101(Cr),was successfully synthesized via the “ship in a bottle” approach,which acted as a bifunctional material for both capture and conversion of CO2 in a single process.For the first time,Salen-Cu(Ⅱ)
Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) are a key material for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM-FCs).Non-fluorinated hydrocarbon PEMs are low-cost alternatives to Nafion,but limited by the low proton conductivity,because of the weak phase segregation str
CO2 conversion via photocatalysis is a potential solution to address global warming and energy shortage.Photocatalysis can directly utilize the inexhaustible sunlight as an energy source to catalyze the reduction of CO2 to useful solar fuels such as CO,CH
To pursue electron-generation stability with no sacrifice of photovoltaic performance has been a persistent objective for all kinds of solar cells.Here,we demonstrate the experimental realization of this objective by quasi-solid-state quantum dot-sensitiz
The effect of bismuth (Bi) for both VO2+/VO2+ and V3+/V2+ redox couples in vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) has been investigated by directly introducing Bi on the surface of carbon felt (CF).The results show that Bi has no catalytic effect for VO2+/VO2+ re
To gain deep insight into the Morphological effect of NixMg1-xO catalysts on the reaction of CO2 reforming with methane,we designed and fabricated three different spatial structural NixMg1-xO catalysts.These NixMg1-xO catalysts with specific models such a
Developing an efficient approach of transforming biomass waste to functional carbon-based electrode materials applied in supercapacitor offers an important and high value-added practical application due to the abundance and considerable low price of bioma
Recently,various efforts have been put forward on the development of technologies for the synthesis of methane from CO2 and H2,since it can offer a solution for renewable H2 storage and transportation.In parallel,this reaction is considered to be a critic
