redox.me testbed

Redoxme AB, also known as redox.me, specializes in advancing electrochemical technologies, focusing particularly on electrochemical flow systems and related innovations. We collaborate closely with academic institutions and industry partners to research, develop, and implement solutions that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of energy conversion and storage processes.

Founded in 2015, redox.me provides laboratory instrumentation capable of simultaneous in-situ measurements of multiple signals (electrochemical, optical, thermal, etc.) on thin film and membrane materials. The Center for Electrochemical Flow Systems, established at the beginning of 2024 by Dr. Paweł Jerzy Wójcik, the founder and Managing Director of Redoxme AB, focuses on five key technologies:

    1. PEM Electrolyzers for hydrogen and oxygen production from water,
    2. Redox Flow Batteries for storing electrical energy as chemical energy,
    3. Flow Reactors for electrochemical synthesis of chemical compounds,
    4. Fuel Cells for electricity generation through chemical reactions, and
    5. Flow Capacitors for storing electrical energy using semi-liquid electrodes.

The center facilitates experiments ranging from microfluidics to pre-industrial demonstrators across these technologies. It provides free access to all products developed under the redox.me brand, totaling approximately 1.500 products by mid-2024.

The primary goal of the center is to innovate solutions that overcome hardware limitations in scientific measurements of electrochemical systems. This includes challenges like centralized compression of individual cells in stacks, high hydrostatic resistance, large dead volumes, and electrical parasitic phenomena. By challenging current design norms, our work aims to optimize devices to enhance scientific understanding and cognitive value.

Furthermore, by integrating various measurement techniques with electrochemical flow systems, we enable real-time observation of phenomena. This proactive approach helps identify potential issues early, ensuring safety, optimizing performance, and improving system efficiency.

Lastly, the center emphasizes the longevity and sustainability of systems, crucial for advancing renewable energy technologies. Sustainable electrochemical flow systems not only support efficient energy conversion and storage from renewable sources but also contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing energy security, and promoting regional energy resilience. Developing such systems is essential for transitioning to a low-carbon economy and mitigating climate change impacts.
