New paper published – A multi-parameter analysis of iron/iron redox flow batteries: effects of operating conditions on electrochemical performance

Challuri et al.

Iron/iron redox flow batteries (IRFBs) are emerging as a cost-effective alternative to traditional energy storage systems. This study investigates the impact of key operational characteristics, specifically examining how various parameters influence efficiency, stability, and capacity retention. IRFB systems with a volume of 60 mL per tank (20.25 Ah L−1) demonstrated superior capacity utilization, achieving a coulombic efficiency (CE) of up to 95% and an energy efficiency (EE) of 61% over 25 charge/discharge cycles.

New paper published – Development of high-performance and cost-effective electrode assembly for redox flow batteries

Richtr et al. 2025

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) offer promising solutions for safe and durable stationary energy storage; however, high capital expenditures (CAPEX) hinder their commercialization.

We developed a method for low-contact-resistance welding of carbon-polymer composite plates to graphite felt electrodes and copper current collectors. Using our own extruded carbon-polymer composite plate with low carbon filling, we optimized two manufacturing methods: traditional hot-press welding and novel microwave welding.
