Unlike traditional batteries, where the energy is stored in solid electrodes, flow batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes contained in external tanks, allowing for scalable energy capacity and rapid response to varying power demands.
The FLORES Network of Flow Battery Research Initiatives is made up of 14 EU-funded projects, with 89 participating organisations and a total funding of >€41 million. The network aims to increase the visibility and impact of flow battery technology.
Since the early days of aqueous organic flow batteries, featuring the quinone-bromide flow battery and our first alkaline flow battery (DHAQ), our team has come a long way in designing and evaluating new, extremely stable battery chemistries that enable decadal lifetimes of these systems. However, there is more to be done!
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are strong candidates for grid-scale energy storage due to their potential to decouple power and energy capacity. Commercial RFBs (e.g. all—vanadium system) have demonstrated attractive features, such as operation over a large number of cycles.
Redox flow batteries are a promising option for electochemical energy storage at the grid scale, because of their unique structure. In a flow battery (unlike the battery in your phone), energy is stored in dissolved reactants kept in tanks, and these electrolytes are pumped into an electrochemical cell to charge and discharge.
The major problem for flow battery manufacturers in Europe is the current energy market mechanisms in the time of transition: renewable energy sources have been subsidized in the past, and coal and nuclear power plants are still active, keeping prices for flexibility services down.
