Abstract
The Front Cover highlights a study that explored how carbon electrode modifications and bismuth deposition affect performance in KCrPDTA/K4Fe(CN)6 flow batteries. Larger bismuth deposits that form on thermally activated electrodes reduce the Coulombic efficiency due to enhanced hydrogen evolution, whereas smaller deposits improve the overall efficiency. These findings highlight the importance of controlling catalyst morphology to balance power output and cell longevity. More information can be found in the Research Article by D. Reber and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/batt.202400696).
