Description

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are considered one of the most promising electrochemical technologies for the large-scale storage of renewable electrical energy. As a critical component, separator with high selectivity and ionic conductivity is an “enabler” of nonaqueous RFBs. Commercial porous separators have high conductivity but limited selectivity causing irreversible organic-active material (ROM) crossover and capacity decay. In this project, Storagenergy Technologies Inc. will develop a multi-functional separator for high energy efficiency, high power, and long cycling life nonaqueous RFBs.
