Flow Battery Research Collective

@oliver.schlueter Pleasure to meet you! I’m a contributor to OSE’s USA project! I love the work y’all have done over in Germany and it’ll be cool to see what we can all come up with here

I found a research paper about sulfonating PEEK resin: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/14/10/3980

Even when processing the resin DIY, the photo paper remains a lot cheaper! It’s definitely convenient that the chemistries in use can tolerate some mixing.

Hi everyone, I am Alexa. I am an open source hardware developer with an interest in sustainability, on site energy generation, 3D printing, and making the world a better place.

I found FBRC via a friend who found you in OSHWA’s hardware listing. I followed the breadcrumbs to your forum.

I am interested in the low cost, low toxicity, and long cycle durability of flow batteries, especially since the batteries being developed here are open source! I want to see this tech spread far and wide.

Additionally, I am interested in finding out about how this project could use a novel method of low-cost/DIY ion exchange membrane production that was developed by Rowow on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c3tNXDlgE2M

I see myself getting involved by taking working cell designs and electrolyte chemistries to build flow batteries for use in home scale energy storage. I wish to fully utilize photovoltaic power to cover my at home energy needs.

Thanks for reading! -Alexa
