Future storage systems for the energy transition: Polymer-based redox-flow batteries
The efficient storage of electric energy represents a major challenge for a successful energy transition, enabling the utilization of fluctuating renewable resources also as base load. Redox-flow-batteries (RFBs) are the only type of battery where intrinsically power and capacity can be varied independently from each other, making this type of battery perfectly suited for scalable stationary applications. RFBs based on aqueous electrolytes with organic / polymer active materials have the potential to be suitable alternatives for commercial metal-based RFBs, with low CO2 footprint perfectly fitting to the goals of the EU Green Deal. In particular, polymer-based RFB systems enable the use of…
