Our team has received the Acorn Innovation Award for our “Mushroom-Inspired Vanadium Extraction” Project! Our sincere thanks to MassVentures for recognizing our innovative work. Stay connected with us for more exciting developments in this venture!

Ertan visited Naval Postgraduate School and gave a talk on our ONR-funded project “Dual-Layer Energy Storage: Combining Redox Flow Batteries with Renewable Hydrogen Generation on Demand“. The presentation was recorded and can be accessed at the link above. Of course, Ertan had to stop by Captain + Stoker coffee roaster 🙂

Shabdiki, Henning, Dan, Eylul, Shyam and Ertan attend the 243rd ECS Meeting in Boston. Our group contributed to the A03 Large-Scale Energy Storage Symposium with 3 oral and 1 poster presentations. Congratulations to Shabdiki, Dan, Henning and Shyam!

Big congratulations to Ashley Caiado who has received both the Dean’s medal for outstanding academic achievement (the highest CGPA of the Class of 2023) and the Craig Douglas award, recognizing all of the research she has worked on over the past few years at E2STL. Well done Ashley!!!

Ertan attended the Telluride Innovation Workshop: Decarbonization of Cement and presented the work conducted by Shabdiki: “Decarbonization of Cement Manufacturing via Flow-Assisted Electrochemistry”.

Shabdiki, Dan and Ertan attended the MRS Fall Meeting in Boston. Both Ertan and our long-time collaborator Patrick Cappillino from UMass Dartmouth gave invited talks in the Symposium EN01: Redox Flow Batteries—Materials, Methods and Devices.

Ertan gave an invited talk in the Research Seminar Series of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Montreal.

Congratulations to the E2STL team on wining the MA Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) Catalyst Award 2022 with the project “Extraction of Vanadium from low cost resources using a bio-inspired, vanadium-binding molecule”.

Joe and Ertan publish a paper in collaboration with Prof. Sheree Pagsuyoin at UMass Lowell and Prof. Onur Apul at UMaine entitled “Towards Selective Removal of Bromide from Drinking Water Resources using Electrochemical Desalination” in Chemical Engineering Journal Advances.

The E2STL team publishes their first paper on redox-targeting flow batteries with Cappillino Group in the Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage for the “Emerging Investigators in Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage 2022” special issue.
