The kinetics of сodeposition of nickel and iron in an electrolyte based on a deep eutectic solvent (ethaline) was studied by voltammetry method. It was established that the partial voltammograms of iron ions reduction during alloy electrodeposition correspond to the region of electrode potentials, which is more than 100 mV positive in comparison with the electrodeposition potentials of pure iron. It was shown that the acceleration of iron ion electroreduction is associated with the gain in energy due to the alloy formation and a decrease in the overvoltage of iron electrodeposition during alloying. The change in the kinetics of iron electrodeposition can be explained by both a change in the mechanism of its electrodeposition in conjunction with nickel and a change in the state of the electrode surface in the potential region of the alloy formation. Comparison between the ratio of the content of the alloy components in the metal and the corresponding ions in the electrolyte showed that nickel and iron electrodeposit into the alloy in quantities that are proportional to their content in the electrolyte. Thus, electrodeposition of nickel-iron alloy from ethaline with a water content of up to 3% occurs by the so-called normal mechanism.

Aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs) have become increasing attractive for scalable energy storage. However, it remains challenging to develop high voltage, powerful AORFBs because of the lack of catholytes with high redox potential. Herein, we report methyl viologen dibromide (<b>[MV]Br<sub>2</sub></b>) as a facile self-trapping, bipolar redox electrolyte material for pH neutral redox flow battery applications. The formation of the <b>[MV](Br<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub></b> complex was computationally predicted and experimentally confirmed. The low solubility <b>[MV](Br<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub></b> complex in the catholyte during the battery charge process not only mitigates the crossover of charged tribromide species (Br<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>) and addresses the toxicity concern of volatile bromine simultaneously. A 1.53 V bipolar MV/Br AORFB delivered outstanding battery performance at pH neutral conditions, specifically, 100% total capacity retention, 133 mW/cm<sup>2</sup> power density, and 60% energy efficiency at 40 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>.

Compounds from the 2,2’-bipyridine molecular family were investigated for use as redox-active materials in organic flow batteries. For 156 2,2’-bipyridine derivatives reported in the academic literature, we calculated the redox potential, the pKa for the first protonation reaction, and the solubility in aqueous solutions. Using experimental data on a small subset of derivatives, we were able to calibrate our calculations. We find that functionalization with electron-withdrawing groups leads to an increase of the redox potential and to an increase of the molecular acidity (as expressed in a reduction of the pKa value for the first protonation step). Furthermore, calculations of solubility in water indicate that some of the studied derivatives have adequate solubility for flow battery applications. Based on an analysis of the physico-chemical properties of the 156 studied compounds, we down-select five molecules with carbonyl- and nitro-based functional groups, whose parameters are especially promising for potential application as negative redox-active material inorganic flow batteries.
