Sonar Redox

in search of truly competitive solutions for storing energy from renewable resources, the sonar-team sets out to develop a framework for the simulation-based screening of electroactive materials for organic redox flow batteries (rfbs) – in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. this will help to reduce the cost and time-to-market and thus strengthen the competitiveness of the eu’s battery industry. - we follow a multiscale modelling paradigm, starting from the automated generation of candidate structures for the electroactive material and then iterate through molecular-, electrochemical interface-, porous electrodes-, cell-, stack-, system- and techno-economic-level models. - finally, storage technologies are only comparable when using the levelized-cost-of-storage (lcos) as a global metric, which accounts for all relevant effects across all the scales. - the simulation results go into a database for further processing – we will exploit advanced data integration, analysis and machine-lear
