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.
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.
Flow batteries can release energy continuously at a high rate of discharge for up to 10 h. Three different electrolytes form the basis of existing designs of flow batteries currently in demonstration or in large-scale project development.
Other flow-type batteries include the zinc–cerium battery, the zinc–bromine battery, and the hydrogen–bromine battery. A membraneless battery relies on laminar flow in which two liquids are pumped through a channel, where they undergo electrochemical reactions to store or release energy. The solutions pass in parallel, with little mixing.
A typical flow battery has been shown in Fig. 8. Some of the main characteristics of flow batteries are high power, long duration, and power rating and the energy rating are decoupled; electrolytes can be replaced easily . Fig. 8. Illustration of flow battery system [133,137]. Zhibin Zhou, ...
Flow battery design can be further classified into full flow, semi-flow, and membraneless. The fundamental difference between conventional and flow batteries is that energy is stored in the electrode material in conventional batteries, while in flow batteries it is stored in the electrolyte.
