Improving the Structural Design of Flow Batteries Using Light-curable 3D Printing Technology

Owing to the increasing global demand for energy storage, Redox Flow Battery (RFB) has become popular for large-scale energy storage. To reduce costs and time for R&D, we used light-curable 3D printing technology to manufacture flow field frames and components by applying technology related to RFB. As a result, a low-cost RFB based on cerium/iron electrolyte and TiO2-MnO2-modified electrodes was successfully fabricated. This result provides a basis for the development cycle and cost of RFBs.
