Waste to wonder: Scientists turn chemical byproducts into battery for power grids

This is the first use of phosphine oxides as redox-active components in batteries, with molecular engineering improving their stability for energy storage.

Researchers have developed a method to convert industrial waste into a key material essential for battery production.

A team at Northwestern University has harnessed triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), a waste molecule, to power a redox flow battery.
