Energy Storage for Resilient Operations
Abstract
The development of resilient, safe, large-scale, and long duration energy storage is critical to the mission of DoD. The operations, at both stationary and forward-deployed bases depend on availability of reliable and cost-effective energy source, and batteries ca,n provide this when coupled with renewable sources of power. At large scales, flow batteries have immense potential to address curre,nt limitations in battery lifetime and battery safety. --The proposed work will develop analyte molecules for flow batteries which a,re comprised of cheap and abundant elements that can be domestically sourced to provide security in supply chains: carbon, hydrogen,, nitrogen, and aluminum. Stability, solubility, and numbers of electrons stored per analyte molecule will be improved to maximize ov,erall energy density for symmetric configurations of flow cell batteries. The proposed work will provide a modern education to stude,nt researchers in science and engineering including veteran students. These students will be mentored on the project and have opport,unities for internships and career development, while providing scientific contributions to DoD-funded research.
