As the climate crisis grows increasingly severe, the optimization of energy structure through renewable resources has emerged as a practical and effective national strategy. However, the inherent intermittent and fluctuating nature of renewable energy constitutes the primary technical bottleneck in the energy conversion process. Now, researchers from the School of Chemical Engineering at North China University of Science and Technology, led by Professor Zhangxing He, in collaboration with Queensland University of Technology and Tianjin University, have presented a breakthrough study on bidirectionally enhanced reaction kinetics in vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) via regulating mixed-valence states in perovskite. This work offers valuable insights into the development of next-generation high-performance metal-based electrocatalysts for large-scale energy storage.
