Combined hydrogen production and electricity storage using a vanadium-manganese redox dual-flow battery

Hubert Girault, Danick Reynard

A redox dual-flow battery is distinct from a traditional redox flow battery (RFB) in that the former includes a secondary energy platform, in which the pre-charged electrolytes can be discharged in external catalytic reactors through decoupled redox-mediat ...

The Solvent Effect on H2O2 Generation at Room Temperature Ionic Liquid|Water Interface

Hubert Girault

H2O2 is a versatile chemical and can be generated by the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton donor solution in molecular solvents or room temperature ionic liquids (IL). We investigated this reaction at interfaces formed by eleven hydrophobic ILs and ...

Vanadium‐manganese redox flow battery: Study of Mn(III) disproportionation in the presence of other metallic ions.

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Danick Reynard, Solène Cindy Gentil, Vimanshu Chanda

The Mn(III)/Mn(II) redox couple with a standard potential of +1.51 V vs . SHE has drawn interest for the design of V/Mn redox flow battery (RFB). However, Mn(III) disproportionation leads to a loss of capacity, an increase of pressure drop and electrode pa ...
