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.
7. Concluding remarks and perspectives Flow batteries are regarded as one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies because of their site-independency, decoupling of power and energy, design flexibility, long cycle life, and high safety.
Flow batteries generally have high round-trip efficiency (typically 70–85 %) and long cycle life (up to 20,000 cycles or more), making them a reliable energy storage technology . The electrodes in a flow battery play a crucial role in the electrochemical reactions that occur during the charging and discharging process .
Flow batteries and regenerative fuel cells have the potential to play a pivotal role in this transformation by enabling greater integration of variable renewable generation and providing resilient, grid-scale energy storage.
The ability to scale the energy capacity by increasing the size of the electrolyte tanks is a key advantage of flow batteries . This makes them suitable for large-scale energy storage applications, such as grid-scale energy storage and renewable energy integration.
Another potential avenue for enhancing the energy density of flow battery systems is the application of energy-dense solid materials in suspension. Utilizing such materials can significantly increase the overall energy density of RFBs and contribute to developing more efficient energy storage solutions.
