CENELESTResearch
CENELEST links fundamental and applied research along the complete redox flow battery chain — from materials and electrolytes to cells, stacks, systems, modelling and grid integration.
From materials to systems
The alliance works along the complete development chain. Each stage builds on the previous one — the chain is the common thread that connects all CENELEST research fields.
Electrolytes, electrodes and membranes — synthesis, characterisation and long-term stability.
Cell design and prototypes, from established concepts to novel chemistries.
Stack architecture, thermal management, performance and ageing testing.
Integration, battery management, grid operation and system analysis.
Cross-cutting topics such as sustainability, material availability, recycling and techno-economic analysis accompany every stage of the chain — see the industry services.
Redox flow batteries
Redox flow batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes, decoupling power and energy — a decisive advantage for stationary storage. CENELEST covers the full development chain, from electrolyte chemistry to system integration.
Industrial cooperation
Material testing, cell and system characterisation, modelling and techno-economic analysis are available to industry and research partners as bundled services — coordinated through a single contact point. The industry services page describes the five service areas in detail.
