In this project, the student will investigate additive manufacturing (AM) advancements targeted towards enabling a unique flow battery system. The flow battery components will be fabricated using AM methods to create: 1) internal channel pathways to optimally distribute electrolyte flow over the active electrodes, 2) multi-material electrodes patterned with micro/nanoscale features to enhance surface area, such as shown in Figure 1, and 3) membrane separators with porosity size controlled by the AM deposition parameters. The student will be involved in all aspects of designing, manufacturing, and testing the proposed flow battery system. Laboratory techniques associated with the AM technologies required for this project will learned through hands-on training with the University of Louisville’s Additive Manufacturing Institute of Science and Technology facilities.
