JCESR is a collaborative team of engineers and scientists with very broad backgrounds. In the battery space we are now facing challenges that required a multidisciplinary approach that no single group can achieve. Made up of 18 partner institutions, JCESR’s diversity and the opportunity for collaboration across disciplines is what makes us unique. We have the best of the best from each of our partner organizations. The JCESR team is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Seeing Battery Solutions Move to Assess the Health of Batteries
Organic redox-active molecules (redoxmers) are popular for flow battery fluids. Their structural variability comes with other properties that may be tailored for function. We discovered that fluorescence emission can be engineered into redoxmers, which allows real-time tracing of species crossover in a liquid flow cell, … Read More
