​Iron flow batteries are one of the most promising choices for clean, reliable, and cost effective long-duration energy storage. One of the key obstacles for large scale commercial deployment is the low round-trip energy efficiency caused by the competitive side reactions 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.
