The project aims to address a growing problem of increasing energy consumption by storing intermittent energy from the sun in affordable and efficient flow batteries. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of materials science and battery research by using innovative theoretical chemistry approaches to studying electrochemical properties of nitroxide radicals in ionic media. The project aims to develop radical organic flow batteries by utilising ionic liquids to stabilise radicals. Intended outcomes of the project include improved efficiency of flow batteries that can store energy from widely used solar panels. This should provide significant benefits to Australia’s effort to switch to renewable energy technologies. Read moreRead less

Summary
Advanced stopped flow: electron paramagnetic resonance apparatus for measurement of short-lived free radicals in engineering, science and medicine. The facility will enable world class research into complex chemical processes relevant to industry, environmental science and biochemistry. This will result in development of new technologies in explosives, pollution reduction and energy storage, and enhance our understanding of chemical processes that lead to sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage ....Advanced stopped flow: electron paramagnetic resonance apparatus for measurement of short-lived free radicals in engineering, science and medicine.
