2017 Spring Journal Club: Separators in flow batteries

We have a biweekly meeting on the separators in redox-flow batteries hosted by Jon Witt this Thur. 2:30pm @ MoIEs 225.

Since we have the Awards day this Friday, we are going to move the meeting time this week to April 27th from 2:30 to 3:30pm in MolES 215.

Jon is going to give us a talk on the separators in flow batteries. Welcome to join us!
