Main Research Activities
The aim of this project is to develop redox-flow batteries based on the use of lithium or sodium insertion materials in the presence of redox mediators in aqueous electrolytes at neutral pH. We would like to design and optimize transition metal complex-based electrolytes (posolyte/negolyte) using a dual experimental-modeling approach. The project is co-supervised by Prof. Emmanuel Baudrin (experimental, LRCS) and Ass. Prof. Piotr de Silva (DFT modeling, DTU) and is funded by ALISTORE-ERI.Academic Training
