Long-Duration Energy Storage for Climate and Energy Resilience
Abstract
THIS ABSTRACT IS SUITABLE FOR PUBLIC RELEASEThe Department of the Navy needs long duration energy storage to develop energy and climate resilience, according to then #Department of the Navy Climate Action 2030#. At large scales, flow batteries have immense potential to address current limitations in battery lifetime and battery safety. The proposed work will develop analyte molecules for flowbatteries which are comprised of cheap and abundant elements that can be domestically sourced to provide security in supply chains:carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and aluminum. Charged functional groups will be included on flow battery analytes to enhance conductivity, lower resistivity and overpotential, and enhance stability of analyte/electrolyte formulations. The new analyte molecules will be benchmarked using electrochemical measurements of prototype cells. The proposed work will provide training for student researchersin science and engineering including veteran students. Veteran students will be mentored on the project and have opportunities for internships, along with professional and career development, while providing scientific contributions to DoD-funded research.
