He received the prize for his Master’s thesis, which was entitled ‘The Effect of Compression, Morphology and Treatment on the Redox Flow Battery Electrodes’!

The EnCN Energy Award honours students for their exceptional contributions to energy research and the energy transition. Award-winning theses focus on topics such as new energy technologies, the rational use of energy, efficiency improvements and the development of practical applications.

In his thesis, Devinda Meedeniye Gedara focused on developing a half-cell. This enables novel electrode materials for vanadium redox flow batteries to be precisely characterized. He also provided excellent support for the Zeis group in preparing and executing synchrotron experiments at KIT. We wish him all the best for the future.
