Integration of renewable energy from intermittent sources (i.e. solar and wind) requires the development of energy storage mechanisms that are capable of functioning in tandem with the electrical grid. Redox-flow batteries have emerged as promising systems for large-capacity, reversible energy storage, however their implementation has been inhibited by a lack of suitable molecular species with sufficient solubility and electrochemical stability for rapid and efficient charge storage. The rich electrochemistry and chemical stability of metal-oxide assemblies (clusters) render these architectures intriguing candidates for the development of charge carriers for solution-phase energy storage applications. Here, we present recent results from our laboratory pertaining to the surface functionalization of polyoxovanadium-alkoxide clusters, targeting enhanced performance in non-aqueous redox-flow battery schematics. <br/>
