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.

氧化还原液流电池是一种坚固、灵活且可能非常便宜的储能设备，与长期储能应用越来越相关。尽管在开发用于液流电池的氧化还原电对方面已经做了很多工作，但碳电极的定制仍然没有得到充分研究，大部分是从燃料电池借用的。该博士项目将探索利用纺织废料作为氧化还原液流电池电极的碳源，包括棉花、丙烯酸酯和聚酯。将研究热处理（碳化）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、材料来源和预处理的影响以及热处理前织物的结构。以及碳化后。
