Northwestern researchers transform waste molecule TPPO into a key material for redox flow batteries, boosting sustainability in energy storage.
Researchers have developed a method to convert industrial waste into a key material essential for battery production.A team at Northwestern University has harnessed triphenylphosphine oxide , a waste molecule, to power a redox flow battery.Redox flow batteries employ a chemical reaction to transfer energy between electrolytes, which store energy, as opposed to lithium and other solid-state batteries that store energy in electrodes.
“Not only can an organic molecule be used, but it can also achieve high-energy density — getting closer to its metal-based competitors — along with high stability. These two parameters are traditionally challenging to optimize together, so being able to show this for a molecule that is waste-derived is particularly exciting,” said Emily Mahoney, a Ph.D. candidate in the Malapit lab and the paper’s first author, in a statement.
