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.
Last week UQ Media made an interview with me about general issues with redox flow batteries.
Last Friday I have visited Redflow in Brisbane for discussions about their technology and cooperations.
I have visited last weeks QLD Energy and Resources Breakfast CBD Brisbane.
