Doctoral Dissertations

With the increased utilization of renewable energy sources, demand for long-duration energy storage systems has increased to moderate the intermittent power generation problem of these sources. Among the various energy storage technologies, those based on electrochemical conversion have received tremendous attention in recent decades. Organic redox flow batteries (ORFBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage. The advantages of ORFBs are flexibility, wide voltage window, high energy density, and low cost. Although recent developments in ORFBs are promising, their future implementation requires further development, especially to understand their electrochemical performance and alleviate system inefficiencies. Most of ORFBs' performance loss comes …
