Technical FAQs 4

What is a flow battery?

Flow batteries are a type of electrochemical ES, which consists of two chemical components dissolved in liquid separated by a membrane. Charging and discharging of batteries occur by ion transferring from one component to another component through the membrane. The biggest advantages of flow batteries are the capability of pack in large volumes.

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.

What is the flow of charges when a battery is charging?

Figure 9 3 3 illustrates the flow of charges when the battery is charging. During charging, energy is converted from electrical energy due to the external voltage source back to chemical energy stored in the chemical bonds holding together the electrodes. Again, the flow of both electrons and ions, not just electrons, must be considered.

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.
