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.
It is where electrochemical reactions occur between two electrolytes, converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Unlike traditional rechargeable batteries, the electrolytes in a flow battery are not stored in the cell stack around the electrodes; rather, they are stored in exterior tanks separately.
This trait makes them ideal for long-duration energy storage, as they can store energy for several hours or even days. Flow batteries can also offer high cycle life with minimal degradation.
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 main types of flow batteries are: Among the various types, some well-known variants include vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and zinc-based flow batteries. Flow batteries work by storing energy in chemical form in separate tanks and utilizing electrochemical reactions to generate electricity.
This high cycle life makes them well suited to the frequent charge/ discharge cycles often encountered in renewable energy applications. Flow batteries also offer excellent response times, capable of ramping up from zero to full power output almost instantly.
