Abstract
Rechargeable hydrogen gas batteries, driven by hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER/HOR), are emerging grid-scale energy storage technologies owing to their low cost and superb cycle life. However, compared with aqueous electrolytes, the HER/HOR activities in nonaqueous electrolytes have rarely been studied. Here, for the first time, we develop a nonaqueous proton electrolyte (NAPE) for a high-performance hydrogen gas-proton battery for all-climate energy storage applications. The advanced nonaqueous hydrogen gas-proton battery (NAHPB) assembled with a representative V2(PO4)3 cathode and H2 anode in a NAPE exhibits a high discharge capacity of 165 mAh g-1 at 1 C at room temperature. It also efficiently operates under all-climate conditions (from -30 to +70 °C) with an excellent electrochemical performance. Our findings offer a new direction for designing nonaqueous proton batteries in a wide temperature range.
