Flow batteries exhibit significant advantages over alternative battery technologies in several aspects, including storage duration, scalability and longevity, making them particularly well-suited for large-scale solar energy storage projects.
It is where electrochemical reactions occur between two electrolytes, converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Unlike traditional rechargeable batteries, the electrolytes in a flow battery are not stored in the cell stack around the electrodes; rather, they are stored in exterior tanks separately.
Flow batteries, while offering advantages in terms of decoupled power and energy capacity, suffer from lower energy density due to limitations in the solubility of active materials and electrode capacity. The broad voltage windows of non-aqueous electrolytes in flow batteries can also impact their energy density.
Flow batteries typically include three major components: the cell stack (CS), electrolyte storage (ES) and auxiliary parts. A flow battery's cell stack (CS) consists of electrodes and a membrane. It is where electrochemical reactions occur between two electrolytes, converting chemical energy into electrical energy.
