Breakthrough for Redox Flow Batteries
July 26, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials (DWI), RWTH Aachen University and Hanyang University in Seoul have significantly improved a key component for the development of Redox Flow battery energy storage systems. The team has developed a hydrophobic membrane that keeps its barrier functions in place as it does not swell in water. The […]
