Material Benchmarking

Standardized Testing for Redox Flow Battery Components

Material benchmarking is a critical step in the development of redox flow battery components. One of the main challenges in this field is the lack of consistency in testing methods. Many labs use different experimental setups, making direct comparison of results difficult or even impossible. Our Material Benchmarking Service solves this problem using a standardized, validated testing platform. This platform has been extensively used to evaluate a wide range of redox flow battery materials and is adopted by researchers worldwide. As a result, all benchmarking results are reliable, reproducible, and easily comparable.

We offer benchmarking of standard redox flow battery components including:

• Membranes
• Electrodes (Felt)
• Bipolar Plates
• Electrolytes

Characterization Techniques

Membranes

• Characterization in single cell (standard or custom chemistry)
• Permeation of active species
• Accelerated durability testing

Bipolar Plates

• Single cell characterization (standard or custom chemistry)
• In-plane and through-plane conductivity
• Contact resistance with standardized felt
• Accelerated durability testing

Felt Electrodes

• Single cell characterization (standard or custom chemistry)
• Accelerated durability testing

Electrolytes

• Single cell characterization (standard or custom chemistry)
• Electrolyte stability
• Composition and impurity analysis (ICP)
• Active species concentration (titration)

Additional tests available upon consultation.
