Perspective on Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries by Perry, Rodby, Brushett "Aq. flow batteries with voltages >1.5 V are possible, and there are significant benefits to operating at these higher potentials, most notably significant capital cost reductions" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great perspective in J. Am. Chem. Soc. by Prof. Daniel Nocera. Not only is proton-coupled electron transfer important, but we also need to understand and design systems that can undergo proton-DEcoupled electron transfer. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Inert in water but not acetonitrile, and a stronger reducing agent than sodium metal. I hope this encourages researchers to isolate and fully characterize flow battery materials like any other chemical. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I just finished section hiking the Colorado Trail today. Walked both east and westbound to meet in the middle-ish at Tennessee Pass. 486 miles total.

Just posted a preprint on ChemRxiv explaining why Energy Density is NOT important for grid-scale energy storage, showing instead that Area Footprint of flow batteries can be equal to or greater than Li-ion based systems. #batteries #energystorage doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

"The institutions that fund science have become process-oriented, narrow-minded and risk-averse. Wary of failure, they favor established researchers pursuing narrowly focused, incremental ideas over younger scientists with more heterodox agendas." wsj.com/articles/stagn… via The Wall Street Journal

This began as a rebuttal to the question about low volumetric energy density of a #flowbattery vs Lithium. Stationary #EnergyStorage is all about footprint! Lots of satellite data ⤵️ Beyond energy density: flow battery design driven by safety and location pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I really appreciate the opportunity to talk about #energystorage, #flowbatteries, the technology Otoro Energy is developing, and my personal journey in #RenewableEnergy. Thanks to Nate Kirchhofer and BioZen Batteries, Inc. open.spotify.com/episode/1iAkgz…
