Project description
Increasing energy consumption and climate change concerns are driving greater utilisation of renewable energy such as solar and wind. However, the variable and intermittent nature means the use of renewable energy is limited and unpredictable, and results in significant instability and risk to the power grid. One of the most promising options for storing renewably-generated energy is the Aqueous Redox Flow Battery (ARBF). This project aims to develop new water soluble polymers for the next-generation of scalable, safer and cheaper ARFBs.

Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
