Creation, development and study of inorganic materials that are used in electrochemical processes (mainly on battery electrodes) or obtained by electrochemical action.

We are the team of experts from different areas: physics, mathematics, electrochemistry, control theory, micro- and power-electronics who joined together to develop flexible tools for simulation and control of redox flow batteries. Our scope of expertise covers experimental and numerical study of redox flow batteries technologies on different levels, starting from small lab-scale prototypes going to industrial-scale systems with power of several kW. That allow us developing unique solutions for investigation of RFB systems as well as control their main parameters in order to ensure battery stable operation with high energy efficiency.
