Characterization of electrochemical double layers/electrolyte composition with rapid-scan ESR spectroscopy in the ns-range in redox flow batteries

One of the largest issues nowadays is the efficient storage of electrical power in batteries. This topic is dedicated to extracting electrochemical kinetics in the ns-range using advanced ESR methods at THz frequencies, with the focus on flow cell batteries. The candidate will:

• Adapt and develop methodology for ns-time scale reaction monitoring using rapid scan ESR
• Implement the ESR rapid scan methodology into in situ characterization of redox flow batteries – vanadium oxidation states
• Performing and analyzing high-frequency ESR on relevant materials
• Interpretation of the reaction kinetics, 
• Study of the degradation mechanisms of redox flow batteries during operation 
• Closely collaborate with CEITEC MUNI and MSCA-DN-SPACER partners 

Seek potential applications of the developed methodology and its modification to other areas of chemical research
