Requirements of electrolytes In a flow battery, the electrolytes serve as the working solution carrying redox active substances, some vital parameters such as open circuit voltage (OCV), conductivity, viscosity, concentration, etc. will have great impacts on the battery.
Some technologies are more affected and others less. Flow batteries have the advantage, that only the electrolyte which is located inside the stacks may be affected by such processes when pumps are stopped. The remaining electrolyte volume inside of the external tanks, is not affected at all.
The electrochemical cells can be electrically connected in series or parallel, so determining the power of the flow battery system. This decoupling of energy rating and power rating is an important feature of flow battery systems. The interconversion of energy between electrical and stored chemical energy takes place in the electrochemical cell.
With a simple flow battery it is straightforward to increase the energy storage capacity by increasing the quantity of electrolyte stored in the tanks. The electrochemical cells can be electrically connected in series or parallel, so determining the power of the flow battery system.
In a battery without bulk flow of the electrolyte, the electro-active material is stored internally in the electrodes. However, for flow batteries, the energy component is dissolved in the electrolyte itself. The electrolyte is stored in external tanks, usually one corresponding to the negative electrode and one to the positive electrode.
The concept of a flowing electrolyte not only presents a cost-effective approach for large-scale energy storage, but has also recently been used to develop a wide range of new hybrid energy storage and conversion systems.

How a battery works
The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work. To balance the flow of electrons, charged ions also flow through an electrolyte solution that is in contact with both electrodes.
