Japan developed all-solid-state hydrogen anion batteries

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology are demonstrating for the first time electrochemical reactions based on hydride ions (H-) in oxide-based solid-state cells in hopes of demonstrating their potential to be the foundation of the next generation of cells.

Genki Kobayashi and Ryoji Kanno, faculty members at Tokyo Institute of Technology, as well as experts from the Institute of Molecular Sciences (ISM), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Kyoto University and High Energy Accelerator Research Institute (KEK) researchers deduced that hydride (H-) is expected to be used for high energy density storage devices. Using oxy-hydrogenated solid state cells, the researchers showed for the first time that pure hydrogen anions (H-) can be conducted in oxides.

The lattice of metal hydride is often not flexible enough to make it difficult to transport the hydride (H-), which is why the researchers turned to oxygen hydride - where oxygen and hydrogen share the same lattice position. Another challenge is the high electron-donating properties of hydrogen, which means that electrons will dissociate from the hydride (H-) to produce protons and electrons, resulting in the migration of electrons rather than hydride ions. So the research team had to look for another set of systems that contained cations, where the electron donors were more hydrogen than hydrogen.

The researchers looked at how their oxygen-hydrogen compounds changed in composition and synthesis conditions, and also studied the electronic structure and found that the ionic Li-H bonds in the compounds, that is, the presence of hydronium (H ).

Next, the researchers used La 2 LiHO 3 in the orthorhombic phase (o-La 2 LiHO 3) as an electrolyte for a battery (with a Titanium Anode and a hydride cathode). Since the phase change of the electrode caused by the discharge is in agreement with the phase of Ti-H, the migration of hydride ions is shown. The researchers concluded: "The successful construction of an all-solid-state electrochemical cell with hydrogen anion (H) diffusion not only demonstrates the ability of the oxyhydride as a hydrogen anion (H) solid-state electrode, but it also helps to develop an all- (H) conducting electrochemical solid-state device.

Titanium Materials

Titanium material is an important type of metal material with a wide range of applications and excellent performance characteristics. They are known for their high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and excellent high-temperature resistance.
As a lightweight metal, titanium material has a lower density, making it an ideal choice for many industries pursuing lightweight design. For example, in the aerospace industry, the use of titanium materials can reduce the weight of aircraft structures, improve fuel efficiency and flight performance. In addition, titanium materials are also widely used in fields such as automotive manufacturing, sports goods, and medical devices.
Titanium materials also have excellent corrosion resistance. They can operate stably for a long time under various harsh environmental conditions, including seawater, chemicals, and high-temperature environments. This makes titanium materials the preferred choice for equipment and structural materials with high corrosion resistance requirements in fields such as petroleum, chemical, and marine engineering.
In addition, titanium materials also have excellent mechanical properties, including high strength and good plasticity. This enables titanium materials to be formed and processed through various processing processes, meeting the needs of different application fields for complex shapes and high performance requirements.
