Abstract
AbstractSelf‐charging power systems are considered as promising alternatives for off‐grid energy devices to provide sustained electricity supply. However, the conventional self‐charging systems are severely restricted by the energy availability and time‐consuming charging process as well as insufficient capacity. Herein, we developed an ultrafast H2O2 self‐charging aqueous Zn/NaFeFe(CN)6 battery, which simultaneously integrates the H2O2 power generation and energy storage into a battery configuration. In such battery, the chemical energy conversion of H2O2 can generate electrical energy to self‐charge the battery to 1.7 V through the redox reaction between H2O2 and NaFeFe(CN)6 cathode. The thermodynamically and kinetically favorable redox reaction contributes to the ultrafast H2O2 self‐charging rate and the extremely short self‐charging time within 60 seconds. Moreover, the rapid H2O2 power generation can promptly compensate the energy consumption of battery to provide continuous electricity supply. Impressively, this self‐charging battery shows excellent scalability of device architecture and can be designed to a H2O2 single‐flow battery of 7.06 Ah to extend the long‐term energy supply. This work not only provides a route to design self‐charging batteries with fast charging rate and high capacity, but also pushes forward the development of self‐charging power systems for advanced large‐scale energy storage applications.
