How can we make renewable energy reliable at all times using affordable and sustainable water-based flow battery technology?
Meysam Maleki (he/him) is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering. As renewable energy sources like solar and wind become more affordable and widespread, their variable nature remains a key challenge to energy reliability. Meysam’s research aims to address this issue by developing sustainable, water-based flow batteries capable of storing excess renewable energy at large scales and delivering it when needed.
His work focuses on making water-based flow batteries as durable as commercial energy storage systems, while relying on cheaper and more environmentally friendly materials. By bridging electrochemical engineering, materials science and chemistry, Meysam aims to help make renewable energy reliable, affordable and accessible for all.
