Iontronics of Redox Flow Batteries

ONLINE SYMPOSIUM

1st and 2nd of July 2021, 10-15:30 CEST

In this scientific meeting, jointly organized by the IontronicsNL and UK-RFB networks, we cover the basic science required for understanding the wide range of iontronic processes in redox-flow batteries.  We will also present the latest research results on this rapidly expanding and promising solution for sustainable electrochemical energy storage.

The program consists of didactic invited lectures (day 1) and research presentations (day 2) from the community focused mostly on recent innovative results for Redox-Flow Batteries.

Invited speakers:

  • Marnix Wagemaker (Technical Univerity - Delft)
  • Maria Perez-Page (University of Manchester)
  • Jouke Dykstra (Wageningen University & Research)
  • Kathryn Toghill (University of Lancaster)
  • Maarten Voors (Wageningen University & Research)
  • Rathod Suman (IISC Bangalore)

Link to the registration form (Free of charge)

Abstract submission:  

We invite those who are interested to submit abstracts for short research presentations through the registration form. Abstracts are welcome from students to supervisors and from academia to industry. 

The deadline for abstract submission is Thursday June 17th, 2021.

 

 

Past events

The first IontronicsNL meeting was held on 11 October 2019, in Utrecht.

We discussed some of the most recent experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods applied to this field (e.g. atomic force microscopy, single-molecule spectroscopy, nanofluidics, dynamic density functional theory) and reviewed some of the existing challenges, both in fundamental research (e.g. understanding nanoscale ion transport) as well as in industrial applications (e.g. membrane technology, energy storage).

Invited speakers

  • Susan Perkin (Oxford)
  • Maarten Biesheuvel (Wetsus)
  • Rob Lammertink (Twente)
  • Ben Erne (Utrecht) 
  • Peter Ngene (Utrecht) 
  • Serge Lemay (Twente) 
  • Frieder Mugele (Twente)

New Book: Physics of Electrochemical Processes

The past months have been unprecedented for many people around the world, and most were asked to work from home for long periods of time. Though of course we are happy that slowly things are improving, one positive thing did come out of the past months, which is that Maarten Biesheuvel (Wetsus) and Jouke Dykstra (Wageningen University) started writing the book they always wanted to write. The book has now over 300 pages, and is available as a pre-release free of charge from the website www.physicsofelectrochemicalprocesses.com . The book covers many of the topics related to Ionics and Iontronics, including membrane transport (electrodialysis, reverse osmosis) using 1D and 2D models, as well as the DLVW-theory for colloidal interaction, the physics of electrowetting, EDL theories (Frumkin, Donnan, GCS), bio-electrochemical processes, heat effects including electrostatic cooling, and incorporation of acid-base reactions in combined mass transport and reaction modeling. The authors ho...
