A lithium-ion flow battery is a flow battery that uses a form of lightweight lithium as its charge carrier. The flow battery stores energy separately from its system for discharging. The amount of energy it can store is determined by tank size; its power density is determined by the size of the reaction chamber.
As a new type of high energy density flow battery system, lithium-ion semi-solid flow batteries (Li-SSFBs) combine the features of both flow batteries and lithium-ion batteries and show the advantages of decoupling power and capacity. Moreover, Li-SSFBs typically can achieve much higher energy density while maintaining a lower cost.
In fact, flow batteries could be more competitive than other solutions such as lithium-ion only in the case of renewable energy sources predominant in the energy mix, given their lower round-trip efficiency and having as a point of strength the FBs low impact in the cradle to gate phase and easiness to recycle materials.
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.
On the basis of the redox targeting reactions of battery materials, the redox flow lithium battery (RFLB) demonstrated in this report presents a disruptive approach to drastically enhancing the energy density of flow batteries.
Semi-solid lithium redox flow batteries (SSLRFBs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a promising large-scale energy storage solution due to their scalability, and independent control of power and energy. SSLRFBs combine the advantages of flow batteries and lithium-ion batteries which own high energy density and safety.
Introduction to Flow Batteries: Theory and Applications
Similar to lithium-ion cells, flow battery cells can be stacked in series to meet voltage requirements. However, the electrolyte tanks remain external to the system. To optimize the efficiency of the cell, we can consider several related efficiencies, namely voltage efficiency, charge efficiency, power efficiency, and energy efficiency: [2]
