Flow batteries are a type of electrochemical ES, which consists of two chemical components dissolved in liquid separated by a membrane. Charging and discharging of batteries occur by ion transferring from one component to another component through the membrane. The biggest advantages of flow batteries are the capability of pack in large volumes.
Since capacity is independent of the power-generating component, as in an internal combustion engine and gas tank, it can be increased by simple enlargement of the electrolyte storage tanks. Flow batteries allow for independent scaleup of power and capacity specifications since the chemical species are stored outside the cell.
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.
The capacity is a function of the amount of electrolyte and concentration of the active ions, whereas the power is primarily a function of electrode area within the cell. Similar to lithium-ion cells, flow battery cells can be stacked in series to meet voltage requirements. However, the electrolyte tanks remain external to the system.
The charge neutrality condition for the each half-cell is maintained by a selective ion exchange membrane separating the anode and cathode compartments. The key differentiating factor of flow batteries is that the power and energy components are separate and can be scaled independently.
