Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity. This battery, though, uses a completely new kind of fluid, called a nanoelectrofuel.
Associate Professor Fikile Brushett (left) and Kara Rodby PhD ''22 have demonstrated a modeling framework that can help guide the development of flow batteries for large-scale, long-duration electricity storage on a future grid dominated by intermittent solar and wind power generators.
The flow battery is a form of battery in which electrolyte containing one or more dissolved electroactive species flows through a power cell/reactor in which chemical energy is converted to electricity. Additional electrolyte is stored externally, generally in tanks, and is usually pumped through the cell (or cells) of the reactor. The reaction ...
