The assembly consists on the insertion of the different battery<br \/>\ncomponents in the following order: end plate, current collector, bipolar plate, seal, first flow frame,<br \/>\nfirst carbon felt electrode, seal, membrane, seal, second flow frame, second carbon felt electrode,<br \/>\nseal, bipolar plate, current collector, end plate. After that, a torque wrench is used to tighten the<br \/>\nscrews to a fixed torque value. The cell is ready and connected to the tanks. Then, the electrolytes<br \/>\nfrom both reservoirs are pumped to the cell and back to the tanks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 960px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1034-1\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/compbat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/video_compbat_14mb.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/compbat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/video_compbat_14mb.mp4\">https:\/\/compbat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/video_compbat_14mb.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for suitable materials for Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries (AO-RFBs), the new organic compounds synthetized within the CompBat project are tested in lab-scale flow batteries at University of Turku.
