The ONCOMING project (“OrgaNiC/inorganic redOx-active MaterIals for eNerGy storage in flow batteries”) aimed to develop sustainable and cost-effective hybrid organic/inorganic redox-active materials for Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries (AORFBs), addressing the need for scalable electrochemical energy storage solutions aligned with long-term carbon-neutrality goals. Research activities were structured into five Work Packages (WP1–WP5). WP1 focused on the design and green synthesis of water-soluble, redox-active organic electrolytes based on porphyrin-, viologen-, and ferrocene-derived compounds, avoiding the use of critical raw materials. WP2 addressed the development of hybrid electrocatalytic materials and biomass-derived carbonaceous electrodes to enhance redox reaction kinetics. WP3 was dedicated to the spectroscopic, structural, and electrochemical characterization of the synthesized materials, along with an environmental sustainability assessment performed through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies. WP4 concerned the assembly and electrochemical validation of a single-cell AORFB prototype, evaluating cycling stability, capacity retention, and power generation performance. Finally, WP5 supported dissemination activities and project management.
