The classic Daniell cell was redesigned to make it rechargeable using gel electrolytes, surface coatings, and ion exchange membranes. The proposed cell chemistry is sustainable, straight-forward to recycle, and can be scaled up to 1 A h cells.
It is more important that both electrodes of the battery are renewable, reusable, low toxicity and environmentally friendly. Owing to these advantages mentioned above, the re-built Daniell cell can be considered as a promising and green stationary power source for large-scale energy storage.
Benefiting from the high capacities of Zn and Cu metal, the Daniell cell delivers a high theoretical energy density of 456 W h kg −1 (based on its cathode and anode materials). However, this battery suffers self-discharge and cannot be re-charged due to the severe crossover of Cu 2+ ions.
Daniell cell, invented by the British chemist John Frederic Daniell in 1836, is popularly known as a kind of zinc-copper battery which takes advantage of a porous barrier between the two metals 1, 2. Once used widely in the European telegraph industry, it was supplanted in the late 19th century by more modern battery designs.
The Daniell cell (Cu vs. Zn), was invented almost two centuries ago, but has been set aside due to its non-rechargeable nature and limited energy density. However, these cells are exceptionally sustainable
