6 Polymer-redox-flow-batteries (pRFB)The Jena invention Na+ size-exclusion membrane polymer aqueous electrolyte electrode Cl- H2O anolyte tank catholyte tank P2 P1 Germ. Pat. Appl DE A1, Eur. Pat. Appl. 2014, EP A1, PCT Int. Appl. 2014, WO A , Nature 2015, 527, 78.
7 The innovation is facing a legislative obstacle: Battery directive 2006/66/ECREGULATION/LEGISLATION Polymer batteries No (heavy) metals Simple recycling Energy harvesting (pyrolysis to oil) Non-toxic, environmentally benign, salt water instead of organic solvents possible… Battery directive 2006/66/EC “The primary objective of this Directive is to minimize the negative impact of batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators on the environment […]” This Directive establishes specific rules for the collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of waste batteries and accumulators […] (Article 1) Enormous worldwide economic potential: applications from small printed batteries to large scale energy storage systems. This Directive shall apply to all types of batteries and accumulators, regardless of their shape, volume, weight, material composition or use. (Article 2) Production possible in Europe (all resources available) Contribution to the solution to important Energy challenges
