The aim of this project is to produce liquid electrochemical fuels, an emerging energy vector, through direct and efficient solar energy conversion and storage using a solar redox flow cell (SRFC). Solar redox flow cell (SRFC) displays the several advantages compared with other photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices. Ambitious performance goals can be achieved by introducing new and unconventional inorganic redox pairs, such as poIyoxometaIates, and non-aqueous based electrolytes, such as dialkylsufones and triarylamines, which result in four times the storage capacity of conventional all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB).
