How to store renewable electricity efficiently for later use is one of the major questions of our time. The recently awarded Growth Fund Circular Batteries project REDOX BLEND aims to develop a new class of batteries for day- to week-long storage.

On February 11 it’s the ‘International day of women and girls in science’. A perfect occasion to put Loes Jansen in the spotlights. Since the summer of 2024 Loes works as a PhD candidate in the Energy Systems and Control group at DIFFER’s Fusion Energy department. What do escape rooms have to do with her career?

Nuclear fusion and astrophysics are related fields. That these fields can learn from each other is demonstrated in a recent Nature publication co-authored by DIFFER researcher MJ Pueschel. Corresponding author Bindesh Tripathi links the mechanism of magnetic-field generation to a three-decades-old study of dynamo action in fusion plasmas, albeit giving a new interpretation.

NWO and the National Growth Fund programme Battery Competence Cluster NL (BCC-NL) are awarding nearly 14.5 million euros to three projects for the call 'Technology development for circular batteries'. One of the projects is 'REDOX BLEND: REDOX flow batteries with Large ENergy Density', with DIFFER as one of the consortium partners.
