Studying the interaction of solvated ions with interfaces has long been a hot research topic at the interface of physics, chemistry, and processing technologies. The driving forces in iontronics are not necessarily solely electric, but possibly also osmotic due to an advective fluid flow or diffusive due to ion concentration gradients. These open a plethora of applications in signal-transducing, separation, electrochemical storage, etc. Advances in nanotechnology and computation methods have created a thriving new scientific discipline. Iontronics is expected to play a prominent role in addressing some of the main challenges of the 21st century related to the energy transition, water desalination, circular economy, and green technologies.

In this scientific meeting, jointly organized by the IontronicsNL and UK-RFB networks, we cover the basic science required for understanding the wide range of iontronic processes in redox-flow batteries. We will also present the latest research results on this rapidly expanding and promising solution for sustainable electrochemical energy storage.

The program consists of didactic invited lectures and research presentations from the community focused mostly on recent innovative results for Redox-Flow Batteries.
