Based on this, flow battery energy storage technologies, possessing characteristics such as environmental benignity as well as independently tunable power and energy, are promising for large-scale energy storage systems .
Flow batteries have received increasing attention because of their ability to accelerate the utilization of renewable energy by resolving issues of discontinuity, instability and uncontrollability. Currently, widely studied flow batteries include traditional vanadium and zinc-based flow batteries as well as novel flow battery systems.
Now, MIT researchers have demonstrated a modeling framework that can help. Their work focuses on the flow battery, an electrochemical cell that looks promising for the job—except for one problem: Current flow batteries rely on vanadium, an energy-storage material that's expensive and not always readily available.
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.
Recently, researchers have explored different types of novel flow battery systems, including aqueous and non-aqueous systems. The purpose of studying novel non-aqueous flow batteries is to improve the voltage of flow batteries, and the purpose of studying novel aqueous flow batteries is to decrease costs and improve energy density.
