Can redox flow batteries dominate the market for large scale energy storage?

Abstract

An investment of $44bn in electrochemical energy storage is projected by 2024. Existing battery technologies, as well as those under development, need to ensure acceptable longevity, fast response and low cost in order to take advantage of such a vast market opportunity.

Dr Javier Rubio-Garcia will present an overview of a new redox flow battery technology andl analyse and compare his groups’ prototypes with competing chemistries to put in perspective issues associated with the cost and availability of raw materials

Venue

The seminars will be held in the Sutton Lecture Theatre, which is room 1.31 in the Royal School of Mines (building 9 on the campus map). The simplest route is to enter the building from Prince Consort Road and take the stairs on your left hand side up one flight. Step through the glass double doors on your left and the and the entrance to the lecture theatre is on your right.
