Europe’s largest vanadium redox flow battery – located at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology – has achieved an important research milestone: In a controlled test, it was possible to successfully demonstrate for the first time how renewable energies such as wind and solar power can be fed into the power grid in a targeted and predictable manner, regardless of current weather conditions.
Position for two doctoral theses on modeling and simulation of redox flow batteries at the ZHAW / Switzerland
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:

Lawrence H. Thaller passed away
Lawrence Thaller passed away on June 20, 2022 at the age of 88. He will be remembered for the term “redox flow battery” and his early work on the subject in the early 1970s. He laid the foundation for flow battery developments at NASA on Ti/Fe and Fe/Cr batteries, which eventually led to extensive research and development in this area.
