Hi and thank you for the interesting experiment you provided us. I would like to ask about the ions that cross the separator (membrane) of a Zn_Br2 battery, which ions are those?? Please be as detailed as possible as I am really confused by the literature.. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
The salt bridge is there to allow the passage of both, Positive and Negative Ions regardless of their make up. Basically the same principle as the nearly 200 year old Daniell Cell
I saw a high voltage zinc battery in the channel. I wonder what the result would be if you put acid in one container and alkaline electrolyte in the other?
I just saw your last video on zinc manganese video and I got back to have a look to this. I have two question: 1) you said "same principle of zinc bromide" for zinc-manganese what did you mean? What the chemistry? 2) you were expecting the battery to self-discharge, the other type did?
1) I mean the same cell housing design with salt bridge. The chemistry are: one is Zn - Br and another is Zn - Mn. 2) Static cell designs can have higher self-discharge. That cell design with salt bridge have good stable voltage with Br and Mn
Can you approximately tell the capacity of such cell. Maybe Wh/l. Or teoretical energy density. It would be nice to compare it to other types of batteryes.
