An open-source flow battery kit
Kirk Smith’s personal blog
We’ve been working together with Prof Sanli Faez and Josh Hausener at Utrecht University on their FAIR Battery Project, though the repository for my cell design and jig is currently here. For some scientists doing flow battery experiments in their respective homes/apartments, we’ve got some solid preliminary results— not bad in terms of capacity and efficiency, in the sense that we are in the right order of magnitude of real-world electrolytes here, and we’re using paper instead of an ion-exchange membrane! From Daniel’s blog: Charge/discharge cycle using photopaper separators and the Zn-I chemistry using the open source flow battery design.
