Funding will support the project team's small-scale research and development of solvent-free methods for manufacturing high-selectivity flow battery membranes using chemical vapor deposition, which could reduce costs and improve performance of redox flow batteries for utility scale grid storage and potential applications for metals separation and desalination. Specifically, the project team will (1) test and identify optimal materials for membrane development, (2) develop, test, and validate prototype membranes, (3) assemble materials for prototype battery testing and validation, (4) finalize battery design and evaluate scalable fabrication methods, and (5) conduct a techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment.
