OUR ACTIVITIES<\/h5>

Development, testing and characterization of electrochemical systems for the storage and conversion of electrical energy: redox flow batteries (RFBs), fuel cells and hydrogen and electric propulsion systems (powertrains) powered by electrochemical devices. Tests under current- and voltage- controlled conditions, polarization curves, multichannel electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), under controlled temperature, reagent flow, pressure, concentration and humidification. Modeling of components, machines and systems; numerical analysis; structural and functional optimization; technological development of devices and machines; development and testing of innovative architectures; design of machines, components, systems and plants; techno-economical assessments; bench tests on the prototypes. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
