Flow 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.
The biggest advantages of flow batteries are the capability of pack in large volumes. Interest in flow batteries has increased considerably with increasing storage needs of renewable energy sources. High-capacity flow batteries, which have giant tanks of electrolytes, have capable of storing a large amount of electricity.
Overall, the research of flow batteries should focus on improvements in power and energy density along with cost reductions. In addition, because the design and development of flow battery stacks are vital for industrialization, the structural design and optimization of key materials and stacks of flow batteries are also important.
High-capacity flow batteries, which have giant tanks of electrolytes, have capable of storing a large amount of electricity. However, the biggest issue to use flow batteries is the high cost of the materials used in them, such as vanadium. Some recent works show the possibility of the use of flow batteries.
Therefore, the most promising systems remain vanadium and zinc-based flow batteries as well as novel aqueous flow batteries. Overall, the research of flow batteries should focus on improvements in power and energy density along with cost reductions.
Traditionally, pumped-hydro has been used for load leveling at large scale plants, but this is geographically limited to a small subset of locations. Flow batteries are especially attractive for these leveling and stabilization applications for electric power companies.
