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.
The common problem limiting this use of most flow battery chemistries is their low areal power (operating current density) which translates into high cost. Shifting energy from intermittent sources such as wind or solar for use during periods of peak demand.
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.
A flowing electrolyte battery was presented by Butler (Sandia Laboratory, NM, U.S.A.) at the 17th IECEC (1982) . At the beginning of 1983 a patent was granted to Savinell on a chromehalogen energy storage device .
Flow batteries are normally considered for relatively large (1 kWh – 10 MWh) stationary applications with multi-hour charge-discharge cycles. Flow batteries are not cost-efficient for shorter charge/discharge times. Market niches include:

The zinc–bromine flow battery (Zn-Br2) was the original flow battery. John Doyle file patent US 224404 on September 29, 1879. Zn-Br2 batteries have relatively high specific energy, and were demonstrated in electric cars in the 1970s. Walther Kangro, an Estonian chemist working in Germany in the 1950s, was the first to demonstrate flow batteries based on dissolved transition metal ions: Ti…
The redox-flow battery differs from the usual storage battery in that the energy-bearing chemicals are not stored within the battery container, but are in a separate liquid …
