Electrolytes for cerium-titanium redox flow batteries

The SOLVOMET group is the laboratory of metallurgical chemistry in the Department of Chemistry of KU Leuven and is led by Prof. Koen Binnemans. SOLVOMETs vision is that metallurgical chemistry expertise allows to develop circular hydrometallurgical processes to provide the metals that are needed for the transition to a climate-neutral society. SOLVOMETs dual mission is (1) to perform excellent research in metallurgical chemistry & solvent extraction, while training young researchers in these domains and (2) to support companies worldwide in the development of (solvent extraction-based) circular hydrometallurgical processes, and to provide training in solvent extraction. SOLVOMETs is also applying its expertise in hydrometallurgy to the development of new electrolytes for redox flow batteries.
