Integrating Flow Field Geometries within Porous Electrode Architectures for Enhanced Flow Battery Performance.

ABSTRACT: The large-scale adoption of renewable energy demands efficient and cost-effective storage solutions, with redox flow batteries (RFBs) emerging as promising candidates for grid-scale applications. However, their deployment remains constrained by high capital costs, largely driven by the need for advanced porous electrodes that balance high surface area, efficient mass transport, and low-pressure drop. Compared to conventional, carbon-fiber-based porous electrodes, non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) offers a versatile manufacturing approach to tailor electrode microstructures and enhance electrochemical performance, yet optimizing mass transport remains a key challenge. Here, a micro-patterning strategy is introduced that directly integrates flow field architectures into the electro
