Alfisi, Daniel (author), Shocron, Amit N. (author), Gloukhovski, Robert (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author), Suss, Matthew E. (author)A key bottleneck to society's transition to renewable energy is the lack of cost-effective energy storage systems. Hydrogen-bromine redox flow batteries are seen as a promising solution, due to the use of low-cost reactants and highly conductive electrolytes, but market penetration is prevented due to high capital costs, for example due to...journal article 2022

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Wireless charging must be highly efficient throughout the entire battery charging profile to compete in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Thus, optimum load matching is commonly used: it operates at the equivalent load that maximizes the efficiency, which depends on the coil's alignment. In this article, the optimum load is made independent...journal article 2022
