Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we announce a workshop dedicated to Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries, to be held in the Campus des Cordeliers at Sorbonne University (Paris, France) on April 24-25, 2025.

The workshop has the ambition to bring together the whole community working on Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries, at various research and development stages from fundamental research to prototypes.

It will cover the following topics:

❖ Exploration of new chemistries

❖ Examination of stability of organic redox active materials

❖ Accelerated ageing tests for promising chemistries and materials

❖ Scaling up processes

❖ Industrial feedback

❖ Development of prediction tools

❖ State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) determination

The first edition will focus on best practices for determining performance metrics, including capacity, energy, and power, during the early development stages of new chemistries. It will also address methodologies to assess the stability of organic redox active materials, taking into account degradation mechanisms and projected lifetimes. We will also cover methodologies and techniques for accurately determining SOC and SOH, recommended procedures for conducting accelerated aging tests, predictive tools for assessing the long-term stability and performance of the RFB, and challenges to be addressed when scaling up AORFB technologies from laboratory-scale experiments to larger industrial applications. Looking forward to seeing you in Paris!
