Technical FAQs 4

How does a flow battery differ from a conventional battery?

In contrast with conventional batteries, flow batteries store energy in the electrolyte solutions. Therefore, the power and energy ratings are independent, the storage capacity being determined by the quantity of electrolyte used and the power rating determined by the active area of the cell stack.

Are flow batteries scalable?

Scalability: One of the standout features of flow batteries is their inherent scalability. The energy storage capacity of a flow battery can be easily increased by adding larger tanks to store more electrolyte.

How do flow batteries work?

Charging and discharging are realized by means of a reversible electrochemical reaction between two liquid electrolyte reservoirs. Flow batteries are often called redox flow batteries, based on the redox (reduction–oxidation) reaction between the two electrolytes in the system. Fig. 9. Flow battery system .

What is a true flow battery?

True flow batteries have all the reactants and products of the electro-active chemicals stored external to the power conversion device. Systems in which all the electro-active materials are dissolved in a liquid electrolyte are called redox (for reduction/oxidation) flow batteries.
