Electrochemical energy storage, with a focus on technological advancement of all Iron redox flow batteries..
My research is mostly focused on the development and technological advancement of all iron redox flow batteries. Redox flow batteries possess immense potential as a large-scale energy storage technology compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries, owing to its safety, cycle life and independent scalability. All-iron redox flow batteries fulfil many of the key requirements for large-scale energy storage owing to their low cost, abundance of active materials, and excellent safety characteristics. However, their widespread deployment remains limited by several challenges, including poor cycling stability, electrolyte precipitation, and parasitic hydrogen evolution, which consume active material, reduce coulombic efficiency, and lead to progressive capacity loss. The objective of my research is to suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction, control deposition rate and morphology by means of electrode modification and interface alteration.
