This book provides a comprehensive review of the latest modelling developments in flow batteries, as well as some new results and insights. Flow batteries have long been considered the most flexible answer to grid scale energy storage, and modelling is a key component in their development. Recent modelling has moved beyond macroscopic methods, towards mesoscopic and smaller scales to select materials and design components. This is important for both fundamental understanding and the design of new electrode, catalyst and electrolyte materials. There has also been a recent explosion in interest in machine learning for electrochemical energy technologies. The scope of the book includes these latest developments and is focused on advanced techniques, rather than traditional modelling paradigms. The aim of this book is to introduce these concepts and methods to flow battery researcher, but the book would have a much broader appeal since these methods also employed in other battery and fuel cell systems and far beyond. The methods will be described in detail (necessary fundamental material in Appendices). The book appeals to graduate students and researchers in academia/industry working in electrochemical systems, or those working in computational chemistry/machine learning wishing to seek new application areas.

Professor Akeel Shah graduated with a first-class honours degree in Mathematical Physics in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (both from University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology) in 2001. He is currently a professor in the School of Energy and Power Engineering at the Chongqing University, China, with expertise in electrochemical energy conversion, computational engineering and applied machine learning. He previously held positions at University of Southampton and University of Warwick. His work is primarily focused on the modelling and simulation of energy conversion devices, including computational modelling, and the development of fast algorithms for computer codes in science and engineering based on machine learning and computational statistics. Between 2004 and 2006, he held a joint Pacific Institute of Mathematics Sciences (PIMS) and Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS) Fellowship. He is the author of over 85 publicationsin leading international peer-reviewed journals. Professor Shah has worked closely with the fuel cell and battery industry (Ballard Power Systems, Johnson Matthey Plc, Sharp Laboratories, ACAL Energy Ltd) to develop models/numerical codes for design purposes. He has received funding from the TSB, FP7, DSTL and directly from industry.

He holds a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering (2008) and a Ph.D. in Electrochemical Engineering from the University of Southampton (2011). He has completed his postdoctoral research at institutes such as the University of Oxford, the University of Warwick and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he worked on a variety of electrochemical technologies (batteries, organic synthesis, CO2 reduction). His research interests include functional materials for energy conversion and storage applications. Heis the author of more than 50 publications in relevant fields.
Professor Qian Xu received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in July 2013 and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the same university until August 2014. In 2017, he worked at University of Waterloo, Canada, as a visiting scholar. Currently, he is a full professor at Institute for Energy Research, Jiangsu University, China. He has received more than ten research grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, China Postdoctoral Foundation and industry, and has made contributions in the areas of fuel cells, redox flow batteries, multi-scale multiphase heat and mass transport with electrochemical reactions and computational modelling. He has published over 90 peer-reviewed journal papers (4 of them are ESI hot papers) and 2 academic books with more than 2850 citations (Google Scholar, H-Index 26) and applied 21 patents with 5 issued. He serves as the member of Editorial Board of Processes (MDPI), International Journal of Green Energy, as well as the reviewer for more than 30 international academic journals. He received the “Six Talent Peaks” award of Jiangsu Province, China, in 2016.
Professor Pang-Chieh Sui currently holds dual appointments at the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT, from 2016) and Tsinghua-Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute (EIRI, from 2018). Prior to joining the WUT/EIRI, he was a senior researcher and Tech Lab manager at the University of Victoria (Canada) during 2003–2015 and research scientist at National Advanced Driving Simulator (USA) during 1997–2003. Dr. Sui received a bachelor degree from National Tsing Hua University in 1986, M.S. and Ph.D. from University of Iowa, USA, in 1992 and 1997, respectively.
