New EU research project SPACER just started
The SPACER research and training project (‘Shaping Porous Electrode Architecture to Improve Current Density and Energy Efficiency in Redox Flow Batteries’), funded by the EU as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme, started on 1 September 2025.
SPACER brings together 13 partners and 8 associated partners from 9 countries. The call for applications for 17 PhD positions is currently open. The PhD students will come from a variety of disciplines and will work on the development of novel porous electrode architectures that are expected to significantly improve the power density and energy efficiency of redox flow batteries.
Targeted optimisation at the micro, meso and macro levels is intended to improve current and electrolyte transport and significantly increase the reaction surfaces of the electrodes.
SPACER is thus making an important contribution to the development of cost-effective and durable energy storage solutions for the energy transition.
