Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Since the first redox-flow batteries (RFBs) were demonstrated in the 1940s [22], RFBs attracted attentions duet to their relatively high specific capacity, excellent cycle life and flexible layout [23]. Traditional RFBs were constructed by using inorganic redox materials such as Vanadium salt. The cost of those systems is usually expansive and the materials are toxic. The conjugated molecules represented another class of redox materials that can be produced with abundant nature sources and provide better capacity/cost ratio. However, the most challenge to achieve the desired organic redox-flow batteries (ORFBs) is to design and synthesize ideal organic redox molecules with high solubility, large electrochemical window and reversible redox cycles. In this research, we focused on exploring electro-active conjugated molecules with high solubility and redox stability in non-aqueous condition. Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), phenanthridinone (PN), ferrocene and viologen based molecules were designed and synthesized, and their electrochemical characteristics were studied.
