Today is finally the day. After two years of work, WILEY-VCH Flow Batteries has been published in three volumes and with over 1200 pages in hardcover and digital version. The book can be ordered directly from WILEY https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9783527832767 or from booksellers.
We have two open positions at ZHAW (Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften) starting in spring, 2025. The PhD positions are part of the European funded doctoral network project for high-throughput screening, synthesis and characterization of active materials for flow batteries (PREDICTOR).
More information on the open positions are provided in the official job adverts:
– PhD in Cell-scale modelling for high-throughput screening: https://www.zhaw.ch/en/jobs/vacant-positions/job-details/job/detail/3527954
– PhD in Electrochemical double layer and meso-scale modelling: https://www.zhaw.ch/en/jobs/vacant-positions/job-details/job/detail/3532315

I had an interview with ABC Radio Australia for Future Tense with Antony Funnell about Flow Batteries in Australia and world wide.
The 40th anniversary of the discovery of the vanadium redox flow battery took place at the University of New South Wales on November 15 and 16, 2014. I am very grateful to have been invited to contribute and to have worked with UNSW for the last 7 years.

On October 15-16, 2024, the 40th anniversary symposium was held in Sydney in honor of the discovery of the Vanadium Flow Battery. I was able to meet Elaine Sum at this event and unfortunately only spoke briefly. Elaine was the first person at UNSW to work on the topic. Based on her work, the potential for the feasibility of a vanadium flow battery was seen.
The kickoff meeting for the PREDICTOR project took place at the Fraunhofer ICT on 19.09.24. PREDICTOR is an EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie training network of 17 PhD students on computational and experimental high-throughput methods in the field of electrochemistry for redox-flow batteries. The objective is the development and demonstration of novel organic redox-flow batteries.
