Get a quoteFlow batteries allow for independent scaleup of power and capacity specifications since the chemical species are stored outside the cell. The power each cell generates depends on the current density and voltage. Flow batteries have typically been operated at about 50 mA/cm 2, approximately the same as batteries without convection.
Flow batteries comprise two components: Electrochemical cell Conversion between chemical and electrical energy External electrolyte storage tanks Energy storage Source: EPRI K.

For membraneless single flow battery designs, electrolyte resistance is the leading contributor to overall battery resistance , , which directly impacts the power output .
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.
Flow battery stacks typically consist of dozens of single cells connected electrically in series to achieve a high input/output voltage. Each single cell is connected to a tree-structured pipeline to enable parallel electrolyte feeding.
Flow batteries require electrolyte to be pumped through the cell stack Pumps require power Pump power affects efficiency Need a fluid model for the battery in order to understand how mechanical losses affect efficiency K.
