The role of flow batteries

A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after ), is a type of where is provided by two chemical components in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane. inside the cell (accompanied by current flow through an external circuit) occurs across the membrane while the liquids circulate in their respective spaces. 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. This system converts chemical energy into electricity and can reverse the process as needed.
