Standards for Redox Flow Batteries
Joint workshop of the two EU projects COMPBAT and SONAR
On June 27, 2022, the two EU projects COMPBAT and SONAR will organize a joint workshop within the International Flow Battery Forum in Brussels / Belgium. The workshop will take place on Monday and thus one day before the actual program of the IFBF in the same premises. The topic of the workshop is modeling and simulation for novel active materials for redox flow batteries, as well as the EU-wide international cooperation in research and development. Speakers from both projects will be invited to present and discuss the status of different aspects of the developments. SONAR will present the state of the art of a high-throughput screening process on a working demonstrator and discuss it with the participants from industry and academia. Furthermore, a panel discussion on EU-wide collaboration will take place and a poster session in the evening will conclude the day.

Participation in the 241st meeting of the Electrochemical Society in Vancouver / Canada
Daniel and Jens from CENELEST attended this year’s 241st spring meeting of the Electrochemical Society in Vancouver, Canada. Together with Prof. Dr. Piotr de Silva from the SONAR project, they gave two keynote lectures, three additional lectures and chaired two sessions in the area of redox flow batteries and computational electrochemistry.
CENELEST participated again in this year’s SMART Energy Fair & Exhibition in Sydney
SMART Energy is one of the largest renewable energy events in Australia. As at the last event in 2020, CENELEST participated again with a booth at the fair. The content of the exhibition was the presentation of the possibilities of CENELEST as well as showing the results of some projects and cooperations.
Among other things, a technology demonstrator for the High-Throughout screening process, which is being developed in the international SONAR project, was represented. The software for the search for new active materials for aqueous organic redox flow batteries could be tested on a laptop. In addition, materials of cells, electrodes and a small demonstration redox flow battery were shown. The booth was supervised especially with the support of UNSW students from UNSW Challeng program NextGEN.
First visit of the German project partner after two years
After almost two years, it was possible to travel to Australia again in March 2022. During the same period, work at UNSW was limited. For this reason, mainly inventory work took place in preparation for future projects, as well as preparation for participation in Smart Energy 2022 in Sydney. If all goes well, the work in CENELEST will intensify significantly again in the course of the year. Furthermore, the exchange of staff will hopefully also increase significantly again.
