The project work plan is ambitious and although the main research tasks are mainly of a fundamental nature, their solution directly concerns the development of a new generation of materials that improve the efficiency and electrical characteristics of flow batteries when serving in renewable energy storage and delivery systems. The implementation program includes 2 work packages to solve the research tasks and one work package not directly related to the scientific work.

Work package 1 starts in month 1 of the project, includes several activities and has a duration of 18 months, is related to laboratory research and focuses on determining the type and optimal concentrations of proton-conducting polymer additives for the anode and cathode electrolyte space in vanadium flow batteries. The goal is to improve the electrical characteristics and extend the battery life.

Work Package 2 starts in the 7th month of the project, includes several activities and lasts 18 months, and aims to demonstrate the advantages of the electrolyte with the addition of a proton conducting polymer in a 10 kW / 40 kWh vanadium flow battery for energy storage, reaching Technology Readiness Level 7 (TRL7).
