What is a Flow Battery?
A flow battery, also referred to as a redox flow battery, is a type of rechargeable battery consisting of two liquid electrolyte solutions that are pumped through an electrochemical cell where the liquids either gain or lose energy. The electrolyte solutions are not stored within the battery; instead, they’re housed in separate tanks. The amount of power generated by a flow battery depends on the size of its electrochemical cell, so the battery’s performance can be easily increased by using larger liquid tanks, which increase the amount of energy stored.
In a world where lithium-ion batteries are the preferred batteries for many manufacturers and businesses, flow batteries have been widely considered an obsolete alternative. However, many industries favor flow batteries over lithium-ion batteries because they offer unique advantages in specific circumstances. Their advantages include the following:
- They’re safer because they don’t contain toxic or flammable components
- They have a superior cycle life, enabling them to be used for over two decades without issue.
- They can operate in a wider range of ambient temperatures
