Flow batteries have a chemical battery foundation. In most flow batteries we find two liquified electrolytes (solutions) which flow and cycle through the area where the energy conversion takes place.
The basic requirements for electrolytes are a high ionic conductivity and low electronic conductivity, a wide electrochemical stability window (ESW) or the ability to form a passive interphase, non-flammability and low cost.
A flow battery is a type of rechargeable battery. It stores energy using electroactive species in liquid electrolytes. These electrolytes are stored in external tanks and pumped through electrochemical cells.
Electrolytes: The two most important elements of a flow battery are the positive and negative electrolytes, typically stored in separate external tanks. These electrolytes are usually in liquid form and contain ions that facilitate the battery's energy conversion process.
