Ending Electrolyte Degradation in Aqueous Flow Batteries: Enabling Low-Cost Alternatives for Scalable Grid Storage
Buddhinie Jayathilake | 22-DR-014
Executive Summary
We will develop an innovative electrolyte capacity re-balancing system to enable extraordinary durability in iron reduction-oxidation flow batteries as a promising next-generation solution for stationary storage. Success of this project will show substantial cost benefits from the use of earth-rich materials for grid-scale storage and become a milestone for integrating renewable energy generation and power supply.
