Technical feasibility of a proton battery with an activated carbon electrode

sciencedirect.com

Highlights

A ‘proton battery’ with a carbon electrode is shown to be technically feasible.

A proton battery stores hydrogen in atomic rather than molecular gaseous form.

The storage electrode was made from activated carbon soaked in acid.

This experimental battery stored nearly 1 wt% hydrogen in charge mode.

In discharge mode, 0.8 wt% hydrogen was released, indicating high reversibility..


Interesting - the proof of principle experiment demonstrated a similar energy density to commercial lithium ion batteries...
