4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Ultra-micro flow battery"

Are flow batteries suitable for large-scale energy storage?

Flow batteries have long been considered as a competitive candidate for large-scale energy storage owing to their advantages of high power density, long lifespan, and decoupling of energy density/power. However, high membrane and maintenance costs hinder their further development and application.

What is a flow battery?

Unlike secondary battery systems using solid active materials, flow batteries decouple energy storage (i.e., the concentration of electrolyte and storage container size) and power conversion (i.e., the central electrochemical reaction energy conversion device), thus enabling relatively safe energy storage and long battery life (4, 6 – 8).

What are aqueous flow batteries?

Aqueous flow batteries (AFBs) stand out for accommodating large-scale energy storage at a relatively lower cost while maintaining high power output 7, 8, 9, 10.

How much does a flow battery cost?

The capital cost of flow batteries (~US$800/kWh) (9) is still significantly higher than that of Li-ion batteries (<US$300/kWh) (10) and far from the US$125/kWh goal set by the US Department of Energy (1). The power module composes ~40% of the cost of flow batteries (11).
