Redox flow batteries are robust, flexible and potentially very cheap energy storage devices that are becoming increasingly relevant for long-duration energy storage applications. While there has been much work on the development of redox couples tailored to use in flow batteries, the tailoring of the carbon electrodes remain under-researched, being largely borrowed from fuel cells. This PhD project will explore the use of textile waste as carbon source for redox flow battery electrodes, including cotton, acrylic and polyester. The structure, elemental composition and electrochemical activity of these materials after thermal treatment (carbonisation) and functionalisation will be studied, with opportunities to optimise thermal treatment methodology, the effect of material origin and pre-treatment, as well as the structure of the fabric before and after carbonization.

氧化还原流量电池强大，灵活且潜在的非常便宜的储能设备与长期储能应用变得越来越相关。虽然在用于流量电池中使用的氧化还原夫妇的开发方面进行了很多工作，但碳电极的剪裁仍未得到研究，在很大程度上是从燃料电池中借来的。该博士学位项目将探索使用纺织废物作为氧化还原流量电极（包括棉，丙烯酸和聚酯）的碳源。将研究这些材料（碳化化）和功能化后这些材料的结构，元素组成和电化学活性，并有机会优化热处理方法，材料起源和预处理的影响以及碳化前后的织物的结构。
