Title: New “Instantly Rechargeable” Battery Deals a Fatal Blow to Fossil Fuels

In Brief
Purdue researchers have developed a flow battery that would allow electric cars to be recharged instantly at stations like conventional cars are. The technology is clean, safe, and cheap.

Go With The Flow

Purdue researchers have developed technology for an “instantly rechargeable” battery that is affordable, environmentally friendly, and safe. Currently, electric vehicles need charging ports in convenient locations to be viable, but this battery technology would allow drivers of hybrid and electric vehicles to charge up much like drivers of conventional cars refill quickly and easily at gas stations.

This breakthrough would not only speed the switch to electric vehicles by making them more convenient to drive, but also reduce the amount of new supportive infrastructure needed for electric cars dramatically. Purdue University professors John Cushman and Eric Nauman teamed up with doctoral student Mike Mueterthies to co-found Ifbattery LLC (IF-battery) for commercializing and developing the technology.

The new model is a flow battery, which does not require an electric charging station to be recharged. Instead, all the users have to do is replace the battery’s fluid electrolytes — rather like filling up a tank. This battery’s fluids from used batteries, all clean, inexpensive, and safe, could be collected and recharged at any solar, wind, or hydroelectric plant. Electric cars using this technology would arrive at the refueling station, deposit spent fluids for recharging, and “fill up” like a traditional car might.

Cleaner, Faster Battery Technology

This flow battery system is unique because, unlike other versions of the flow battery, this one lacks the membranes which are both costly and vulnerable to fouling. “Membrane fouling can limit the number of recharge cycles and is a known contributor to many battery fires,” Cushman said in a press release. “Ifbattery’s components are safe enough to be stored in a family home, are stable enough to meet major production and distribution requirements, and are cost effective.”

Transitioning existing infrastructure to accommodate cars using these batteries would be far simpler than designing and building a host of new charging stations — which is Tesla’s current strategy. Existing pumps could even be used for these battery chemicals, which are very safe.

“Electric and hybrid vehicle sales are growing worldwide and the popularity of companies like Tesla is incredible, but there continues to be strong challenges for industry and consumers of electric or hybrid cars,” Cushman said in the press release. “The biggest challenge for industry is to extend the life of a battery’s charge and the infrastructure needed to actually charge the vehicle.”

When can we expect to see these batteries in use? The biggest hurdle isn’t the materials, which are cheap and plentiful, but person power. The researchers still need more financing to complete research and development to put the batteries into mass production. To overcome this problem, they’re working to publicize the innovation in the hopes of drawing interest from investors.

What are the components of the fluid?

Ifbattery licensed part of the technology through the Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization and has developed patents of its own.

The patent filings may have that info.

John Cushman presented new research at the International Society for Porous Media 9th International Conference in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Entitled “Redox reactions in immiscible-fluids in porous media – membraneless battery applications

I'd bet they dont. --- And unti! this mystery fluid appears, don't hold your breath, or invest in this pie/sky scheme.

Maybe. Flow batteries have been around for a while, so this evolutionary in terms of that technology. My guess is that they were able to dispense with the membranes by finding the right immiscible fluids. The abstract from the conference is due to be published in July if you don't want to plow through the patent applications.

I read this a while back and thought it was interesting. I then realized how much they weren't saying.

This is a little like all those endless Gee Whiz articles from an old Omni magazine way back when.

I would like it if it did happen. But I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, I'm not on any bandwagon. I looked around for reports coming out of the conference where this was presented, but nada so far. Still it's not Omni (didn't Bob Guccione put that out?), it's a press release from Perdue.

I'm into batteries, so I'll be watching for more on this (if).

This "pump out the old electrolyte and pump in some new electrolyte" sounds a little dicey.

They're saying it will be as quick and easy as filling your car. Well, it won't because you have to pump your old electrolyte into a tank at the station. Then someone has to pump it into a truck, haul it somewhere and "recharge" it. Or maybe the station will "recharge" it on the premises or something.

See where I'm going? When you start to think about it, you start to have a cascade of pesky questions and suddenly it doesn't all sound so Magical any more.

This battery’s fluids from used batteries, all clean, inexpensive, and safe, could be collected and recharged at any solar, wind, or hydroelectric plant.

And just how many windmills and solar panels will be required to recharge the liquids in 15 million vehicles? I have doubts. It sounds like much of this recharging is going to end up ocurring from fossil electric plants 50 miles away.
