PhD student in the Batteries and Electrification Technologies (BET) Unit, working within the program “Development of new chemistries for redox flow batteries based on low-cost and abundant materials”, in collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Energy and the University of Trento.

His research focuses on developing cost-effective electrolytes for redox flow batteries using abundant, non critical raw materials. Iron is a promising candidate, but its use at high concentrations is limited by hydrolysis induced precipitation.

The project investigates ligand-based stabilization strategies and characterizations aimed at suppressing side reactions while maintaining the reversibility of the Fe redox couple.
