WORKSHOP 2018

UK Redox Flow Battery Network (UK RFBN)

Meeting and workshop for the UK RFBN to be held on the 9th of July 2018, in Cambridge , UK.

The intention of the meeting and workshop is to invite academic research groups, industry (not necessarily working on RFBs) and potential technology users to a forum, to outline and discuss the key challenges and opportunities offered by the fast emerging field of flow battery technology. It is key that industry and business partners are identified early on, and synergies between academia and industry are identified, to enable progression in this aspect of electrochemical energy storage. In light of the Faraday Challenge it is even more important for communities of academics, industry and potetnial users to come together and identify synergies and collaborations. This will be a major aspect of the interactive workshop in this year's annual meeting.

The network aims to engage with all researchers interested in electrochemical energy storage across the United Kingdom so please do join us and help us shape our future research and networking activities.

The event is funded by the EPSRC Centre of Applied Materials for Integrated Energy Systems (CAM-IES) and is FREE to attend.

In addition to academic group leads and company representatives, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers are strongly encouraged to attend.

Registration will open soon on Eventbrite

Invited Speakers

Invited talks are to be delivered by the recipients of the CAM-IES Redox Flow Battery small grants, a call that came about from this last meeting.


Dr Qilei Song Feasibility study of ion-Selective Microporous Polymer Membranes for Organic Redox Flow Batteries.

Dr Alan Wiles Microporous polymers as solid capacity boosters for redox flow batteries.

Dr Ana Sobrido Sustainable Free-Standing Electrodes for Advanced Flow Batteries.

Dr Graham Newton Solventless ultra-high energy density redox flow Batteries


Industry Speaker

Dr Adam Whitehead - RedT Energy

Poster Session and Two-slide group research overview

Attendees are invited to submit a poster title and short abstract.


PIs are asked to prepare a 2-slide Powerpoint presentation to overview the research group. These will be presented in the morning of the meeting.
