Advanced all-Iron flow batteries for stationary energy storage

铁液流电池是清洁，可靠和具有成本效益的长期能量存储的最有前途的选择之一。大规模商业部署的主要障碍是由电池充电期间在负极处发生的竞争性副反应引起的低往返能量效率。该项目旨在通过用功能材料设计负极-电解质界面来解决这一问题，以提高电池性能，从而进一步降低储能成本。预期成果包括用于先进电池技术和制造的新材料和方法。该项目的成功将大大支持到2050年实现净零碳排放的国家优先事项。

Iron flow batteries are one of the most promising choices for clean, reliable and cost effective long-duration energy storage. The main obstacle for large scale commercial deployment is the low round-trip energy efficiency caused by the competitive side reaction that occurs at the negative electrode during battery charging. The project aims to address this issue by engineering the negative electrode-electrolyte interface with functional materials to improve battery performance and thus further reduce the cost of energy storage. Expected outcomes include new materials and methods for advanced battery technology and manufacturing. The success of the project will significantly support the national priority of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
