Each year presenters at an IFBF conference are asked to write a short, standalone paper to support their presentation. These papers are very informative; reporting on the latest progress in research programmes and providing views on the technical and commercial operation of flow batteries, materials, and components. Papers are then published in a book of Conference Papers, serving as a permanent record of the conference and a reference for others.
To date, the IFBF has published over 600 papers. Below is a complete list of published papers.
Lists of conference papers are also available as pdf files: All (2010-2024), 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
Please contact us at info@flowbatteryforum.com if you would like to purchase a printed book or ebook of Conference Papers.
