Scientists identify molecules for potential use in redox flow batteries – pv magazine International

Scientists at the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) have set up a database of 31,618 molecules that could potentially be used in future redox flow batteries. They used artificial intelligence and supercomputers to identify the properties of the molecules. December 5, 2022 Marija MaischIn recent years, scientists have looked at a growing number of electroactive compounds for their potential use in high-performance redox flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage. The Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) has built on these efforts by setting up RedDB, a database of 31,618 potentially interesting molecules for redox flow batteries.The database includes information on the miscellaneous physicochemical properties of the compounds, including their redox potential and water solubility. They described the development of RedDB in a recent paper in…
