EIRES - Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems kindly invites you to join the eighteenth EIRES Lunch lecture on Friday 01 October 2021 | 12h00 - 13h00 (CET).
Carbonaceous porous electrodes are ubiquitous to advanced electrochemical systems where they are responsible for multiple critical functions in the cell related to thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport, including providing surfaces for electrochemical reactions, conducting electrons and heat, and distributing fluids. However, the state-of-the art arsenal of materials is limited to fibrous electrodes which have been specifically designed for low temperature fuel cells and are now repurposed, with limited success, to other emerging electrochemical systems (e.g. CO2 electrolyzers, flow batteries). Thus, there is the need to develop novel material sets with precise control over microstructure and composition, while employing synthetic methods that are compatible with large scale manufacturing. In this presentation, Antoni Forner-Cuenca will discuss his recent efforts to simulate, engineer, and synthesize tailored electrodes for redox flow batteries, which are promising for grid-scale energy storage.
12h05 - 12h35 Advancing Redox Flow Batteries through Porous Electrode Engineering
by Antoni Forner-Cuenca - TU/e | Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry
12h35 - 12h55 Questions & Answers
led by Adriana Creatore - TU/e | EIRES
EIRES Lunch lectures are open for anyone interested in the latest developments in energy storage and conversion. Different keynote speakers from academia and industry will present their views, solutions and outlooks on the topic. The lectures leave plenty of room for discussion. We value your input. Looking forward meeting you!
