On February 1st was our second last General Assembly Meeting in hybrid format in Wintherthur / Switzerland at the ZHAW.
WILEY-VCH Flow Batteries has been released today!

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.
Visit of Lab for Battery Research and Innovation
I visited today Dr. Depan Kundu’s Lab for Battery Research and Innovation at UNSW. We discussed research on sodium ion and solid state batteries.
Talk at the TU-Dresden 6th Autumn Workshop on Energy Storage
I gave an invited talk on the current state of redox flow batteries at the 6th Autumn Workshop on Energy Storage at TU-Dresden on November 30.

Setting up a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) experiment for teaching at UNSW
This is what a vanadium redox flow battery looks like for teaching purposes. We use a very diluted vanadium solution here, on the one hand to make the four color transitions visible and on the other hand to keep the charging and discharging times low. The battery here has a very low energy density, but can be fully charged in 15 minutes. Yellow and purple colored vanadium solutions show a fully charged battery, green and blue solutions a fully discharged battery.
