OverviewHistoryDesignEvaluationTraditional flow batteriesHybridOrganicOther types
A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after reduction–oxidation), is a type of electrochemical cell where chemical energy is provided by two chemical components dissolved in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane. Ion transfer inside the cell (accompanied by current flow through an external circuit) occurs across the membrane while the liquids circulate in their respective spaces.

Pissoort mentioned the possibility of VRFBs in the 1930s. NASA researchers and Pellegri and Spaziante followed suit in the 1970s, but neither was successful. Maria Skyllas-Kazacos presented the first successful demonstration of an All-Vanadium Redox Flow Battery employing dissolved vanadium in a solution of sulfuric acid in the 1980s. Her design used sulfuric acid electrolytes,
A novel liquid metal flow battery using a gallium, indium, and zinc alloy (Ga 80 In 10 Zn 10, wt.%) is introduced in an alkaline electrolyte with an air electrode.
With the promise of cheaper, more reliable energy storage, flow batteries are poised to transform the way we power our homes and businesses and usher in a new era of

Europe''s largest vanadium redox flow battery has reached a breakthrough in renewable energy storage.
One of the important breakthroughs achieved by Skyllas-Kazacos and coworkers was the development of a number of processes to produce vanadium electrolytes of over 1.5 M
The definition of a battery is a device that generates electricity via reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction and also stores chemical energy (Blanc et al., 2010). This stored
