RESEARCH PROFILE
The aim of the project “Understanding and optimizing 3D electrode microstructure for redox flow batteries” is to design and synthesize novel electrodes with architected microstructures by using a combination of computer simulations and synthetic methods. In this project, the role of the electrode microstructure will be thoroughly investigated using computer simulations to elucidate microstructure-property-performance relationships that are central to several sustainable energy technologies, for example redox flow batteries. These highly organized structures strongly enhance the performance of electrochemical storage systems.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Maxime van der Heijden received her BSc and MSc Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology.
