Several cells are stacked in series combinations to scale up the voltage. This assembly is held together by using metal end plates and tie rods to form a flow battery stack which is then connected with electrolyte tanks, pumps, and electronics to form an operational flow battery system .
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.
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.
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.
Various flow battery systems have been investigated based on different chemistries. Based on the electro-active materials used in the system, the more successful pair of electrodes are liquid/gas-metal and liquid-liquid electrode systems.
