Advanced Flow Battery for Synergetic Carbon Capture and Energy Storage (2026-2030)
Abstract
This project aims to develop a novel flow battery that combines renewable energy storage, carbon dioxide capture, and bromide wastewater treatment into one integrated system. By replacing the inefficient oxygen evolution reaction with bromine oxidation, the battery will significantly lower charging voltages and enhance energy efficiency. Advanced catalytic materials and state-of-the-art imaging techniques will be used to optimise performance and understand the system's dynamics. The outcomes include an innovative energy storage solution and advancements in carbon capture and wastewater treatment, contributing to clean energy systems and environmental sustainability while addressing Australia's emissions reduction challenges.
