Summary
Porous Metal Phosphonate Ion Exchange Membranes for Redox Flow Batteries. The high-performance storage and utilisation of renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy, will provide a direct response to Australia's energy and climate issues. This project aims to develop porous metal phosphonate ion exchange membranes, which can be used in the redox flow battery, one of the most powerful, large-scale energy storage devices, with large capacity, high efficiency, long life and low cost.
