The estimated cost of the nickel-hydrogen battery reaches as low as ∼$83 per kilowatt-hour, demonstrating attractive potential for practical large-scale energy storage.
Therefore, nickel materials have an important place in the field of electrode materials and play a substantial role in the development of modern electrochemical energy storage devices [2, 7].
The attractive characteristics of the conventional nickel-hydrogen battery inspire us to explore advanced nickel-hydrogen battery with low cost to achieve the United States Department of Energy (DOE) target of $100 kWh −1 for grid storage ( 14 ), which is highly desirable yet very challenging.
Such a nickel-hydrogen battery exhibits an energy density of ∼140 Wh kg −1 (based on active materials) in aqueous electrolyte and excellent rechargeability with negligible capacity decay over 1,500 cycles.
Rechargeable batteries offer great opportunities to target low-cost, high-capacity, and highly reliable systems for large-scale energy storage.
The ever-increasing demand for electricity can be met while balancing supply changes with the use of robust energy storage devices. Battery storage can help with frequency stability and control for short-term needs, and they can help with energy management or reserves for long-term needs.
