The energy transition towards reduced CO2 emissions requires the substitution of fossil fuels with a widespread exploitation of renewable energy sources (e.g., the sun and the wind). However, the latter are intermittent and non-programmable. Thus, it is necessary a widespread integration of efficient, high-capacity, compact and long-lasting energy storage systems to close the space and time gaps between the production of renewable energy and its consumption by end users.

The invention is concerned with hybrid Zinc-Iodine Flow Batteries (HZIFB).

  • SAMNs Nanoparticle production for purification

    This invention has developed an innovative, environmentally sound and low-cost method for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles (Surface Active Maghemite Nanoparticles - SAMNs): their surface characteristics are especially useful in medical and agri-food applications. They are especially efficient in purification...

  • Colorimetric sensor array for pH measurement

    The invention is a novel pH-meter based on Colorimetric Sensor Arrays (CSA), that surpasses the current limits of the CSA pH-meters, such as single use, relatively slow reaction times and inaccurate pH measurements both in acidic and basic ends of...

  • Long-lived betavoltaic batteries with high power density and high efficiency

    Conventional chemical batteries suffer from significant limitations due to their limited energy storage capacity and rapid degradation over time. Betavoltaic batteries overcome these issues by directly converting the energy released through radioactive decay (beta particles) into electricity, providing a stable...
