Recycling Graphite for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: Options for Usage and Critical Integredients | Thorsten Hickmann
Thorsten Hickmann | Recycling Graphite for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: Options for Usage and Critical Integredients Mini Review Abstract Modern energy systems, such as redox flow batteries (RFB), recently are becoming increasingly popular in the special isttrade [1-5]. Despite a numberof demonstrative tests on redox flow batteries [4-7], upto now there does only orginal Carbon material exist. However, it is necessary to look at Recycling mateirals. There are a certain number how to get recycled graphite. However, when deciding to use these materials, it is necessary to have a close look of the characteristics of these materials.
