Item Improving the voltage and lifetime in aqueous redox flow batteries utilizing the organometallic [Fe(bpy)3]2+/3+(2023-08-30) Burghoff, Alexis; Holubowitch, NicolasLong term battery storage is needed for renewable energy sources to buffer their variable output. Redox flow batteries (RFBs) have the potential to store large amounts of energy for on-demand power generation. Current issue: low energy density due to poor solubility of the active species and low voltage outputs. Robust, high voltage catholytes are needed. Iron (II/III) tris-2,2’-bipyridine ([Fe(bpy)3]2+/3+) is a suitable catholyte. This work introduces a new way to synthesize [Fe(bpy)3]2+ and methods to improve performance.
