Organometallic Electrochemistry: An Energy-Dense & Low-Cost Path to Long Duration Energy Storage

This project brings together an electrochemist and an organic chemistry to develop a new class of grid-scale flow batteries. The work is based on organometallic electrochemistry and has the potential to dramatically lower costs and increase energy density compared to current chemistries. These batteries use ultra-low cost active materials, have high energy density, can operate at ambient temperature (operating temperature range between 10⁰C-80⁰C), and have a chemistry that can be tailored for safety.
