Now, a team at Northwestern University has transformed an organic industrial waste product into an efficient storage agent for sustainable energy solutions that can one day be applied at much larger scales. This marks the first time a waste molecule — specifically, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) — has been used to power a redox flow battery.
The startup Alsym Energy, co-founded by Professor Kripa Varanasi, is hoping its batteries can link renewables with the industrial sector and beyond.
“Battery research has traditionally been dominated by engineers and materials scientists,” said Northwestern chemist and lead author Christian Malapit. “Synthetic chemists can contribute to the field by molecularly engineering an organic waste product into an energy-storing molecule.
