Focusing on the development of Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries (AO-RFBs), the experimental electrochemistry is conducted at Turku University. The group leaded by Prof. Pekka Peljo is carrying out the electrochemical analyses of new synthetized organic molecules as well as running lab-scale batteries to provide the experimental data needed for model\u2019s validation.<\/span><\/p>\n The testing of the new materials ranges from the standard electrochemical analysis to the proper testing in a lab-scale RFB. Organic molecules synthetized at University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 are tested in Turku, firstly with cyclic voltammetry. The most promising candidates are then analyzed in a cell to check the stability, an important factor when considering organic molecules for a RFB. The picture below shows an H-cell used to run a galvanostatic cycling of one of the synthetized pyridoxal-based molecules tested at Turku University.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.0.5″ column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.0.5″ type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”4.0.5″ src=”https:\/\/compbat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_20220708_135921.jpg” hover_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.0.5″ type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”4.0.5″ src=”https:\/\/compbat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_20220707_105142.jpg” hover_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n The electrochemical results obtained coupled with complementary studies, as mass spectroscopy and NMR analysis, serve as feedback to design the next new candidates.
