MCG PhD candidate Emma Latchem recently presnted her work at ENC in Orlando and ECS in Vancouver.
Emma presented her work on the quantification of crossover in operating aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs). Crossover of redox-active materials in AORFBs leads to capacity decay. By using in situ NMR, we have been able to explore how this crossover is influenced by the charging protocol used. Through this work, we hope to improve the understanding of how charging protocols and structure-property relationships govern crossover. This improved understanding will then facilitate the development of improved separator membranes and therefore better AORFBs.
