Dr. Mohamed Mohamedi graduated from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France. He actually works as a research-professor at Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), Canada, where he leads the Electrochemistry and Micro Energy Sources Laboratory. His research is focused on the science, engineering and technology of electrochemical devices, in particular energy conversion (fuel cells) and storage devices (metal-air batteries and supercapacitors), implantable biological fuel cells power sources for medical applications and electrochemical sensors for diabetes detection and monitoring. Dr. Mohamedi has published in international scientific journals, over 160 articles and participated in more than 140 conferences including several as invited and keynote speaker. He is the recipient of the Tajima Prize from the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), the Electrochemistry Communications Award, the Research fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Research Fellow of the 21st Center of Excellence at the Center for Practical Nano-Chemistry of Waseda University (Japan), the Research Fellow of the New Industry Creation Hatchery Center of Tohoku University (Japan), and the Research Fellow of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Japan.
Conference : Are rechargeable zinc-air batteries promising for low-cost green energy storage?
April 3, 2024 at the Centre d'Événements et de Congrès Interactifs in Trois-Rivières during the TimeWorld Energie world congress.
Electrochemical devices such as batteries have and will continue to play a key role in our modern society as they are widely used as energy/power sources in various sectors. Portable electronics, remote sensing and communications, Internet of Things (IoT), electric/hybrid vehicles, stationary power plants, etc. becoming more ubiquitous in daily life, is driving an increase in demand for energy storage devices. Nowadays, Li-ion batteries (LIBs), have been commercialized in plenty of electronic portable devices and electric vehicles. However, the large-scale demand for lithium, its rising price due to its limited reserve and highly uneven geographical distribution call for the development of alternative or complementary batteries to LIBs. Metal-air batteries, a family of electrochemical cells powered by metal oxidation and oxygen molecular reduction, have come up as one of the promising electricity generating devices. Particularly, Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are among the most promising technologies for responding to the issues raised by the current energy context. Modern LIBs are based on intercalation chemistry, whereas, a ZAB generates electricity via a redox reaction between the zinc at the anode (negative electrode) and the oxygen in the air at the porous cathode (air positive electrode), similar to the principles of air-breathing fuel cells. The active zinc anode being the only one to be stored in the battery and the active component of oxygen being absorbed by the ambient air, this allows the ZABs to have a theoretical energy density (excluding oxygen) significantly high of 1350 Wh/kg, a theoretical operating voltage of 1.65 V and a potentially very low manufacturing cost. In this talk, we will address challenges, progress, perspectives and our recent achievements on the development of ZAB technology. Proof of concept at the laboratory scale using single and stack of ZABs for powering several portable electronics will be further demonstrated.
