Flow batteries operate distinctively from “solid” batteries (e.g., lead and lithium) in that a flow battery’s energy is stored in the liquid electrolytes that are pumped through the battery system (see image above) while a solid-state battery stores its energy in solid electrodes. There are several components that make up a flow battery system:
Electrolytes: The two most important elements of a flow battery are the positive and negative electrolytes, typically stored in separate external tanks. These electrolytes are usually in liquid form and contain ions that facilitate the battery’s energy conversion process.
The major characteristic and benefit flow batteries is the decoupling by design of power and energy. Power is determined by the size and number of cells, energy by the amount of electrolyte. Their low energy density makes flow batteries unsuited for mobile or residential applications, but attractive on industrial and utility scale.
The energy storage capacity of a flow battery can be easily increased by adding larger tanks to store more electrolyte. This is a key advantage over solid-state batteries, like lithium-ion, where scaling up often requires more complex and expensive modifications.
