SECONDARY CARBON BATTERY

Carbon batteries are attractive from an environmental perspective, as they have carbon-only electrodes and are therefore metal-free. The current invention refers to secondary carbon batteries with water-based brine electrolytes. These electrolytes have low toxicity, are not flammable, and allow for easy on-site battery recycling. The operating voltage of the inventive secondary carbon batteries can reach up to 1.8 V. These carbon batteries are best suited for electric storage utilities in renewable energy installations.
