OverviewHistoryDesignEvaluationTraditional flow batteriesHybridOrganicOther types

A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after reduction–oxidation), is a type of electrochemical cell where chemical energy is provided by two chemical components dissolved in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane. Ion transfer inside the cell (accompanied by current flow through an external circuit) occurs across the membrane while the liquids circulate in their respective spaces.

Flow Battery ClassificationsAdvantages and DisadvantagesFuture DirectionsBibliographyThe energy-capacity requirement of a flow battery is determined by the size of the external storage components. Consequently, a redox flow-battery system could approach its theoretical energy density as the system is scaled up to a point where the weight or volume of the battery is small relative to that of the stored fuel and oxidant. An analogous...See more on knowledge.electrochem RSC Publishing
