Flow battery design can be further classified into full flow, semi-flow, and membraneless. The fundamental difference between conventional and flow batteries is that energy is stored in the electrode material in conventional batteries, while in flow batteries it is stored in the electrolyte.
Other flow-type batteries include the zinc–cerium battery, the zinc–bromine battery, and the hydrogen–bromine battery. A membraneless battery relies on laminar flow in which two liquids are pumped through a channel, where they undergo electrochemical reactions to store or release energy. The solutions pass in parallel, with little mixing.
A flow battery may be used like a fuel cell (where new charged negolyte (a.k.a. reducer or fuel) and charged posolyte (a.k.a. oxidant) are added to the system) or like a rechargeable battery (where an electric power source drives regeneration of the reducer and oxidant).
Flow batteries have certain technical advantages over conventional rechargeable batteries with solid electroactive materials, such as independent scaling of power (determined by the size of the stack) and of energy (determined by the size of the tanks), long cycle and calendar life, and potentially lower total cost of ownership,.
Flow batteries are normally considered for relatively large (1 kWh – 10 MWh) stationary applications with multi-hour charge-discharge cycles. Flow batteries are not cost-efficient for shorter charge/discharge times. Market niches include:
One such membraneless flow battery announced in August 2013 produced a maximum power density of 795 kW/cm 2, three times more than other membraneless systems—and an order of magnitude higher than lithium-ion batteries. In 2018, a macroscale membraneless RFB capable of recharging and recirculation of the electrolyte streams was demonstrated.
The roles of ionic liquids as new electrolytes in redox flow batteries ...
The reversible conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy takes place while the liquid electrolytes flow through the battery. In ''true'' RFBs, the reaction occurs between the two electrolyte phases rather between the electrodes and the electrolytes, with the advantages of no electrodeposition nor electroactive species losses when the cell is cycled [28] .

Flow Battery Hardware
Unlike conventional batteries, flow batteries are not self-discharging and have no memory effect. The energy is stored in liquid electrolytes which allow ''charging'' the battery by replacing the electrolytes. The liquid electrolyte is a very corrosive acid. The setup of the flow battery has to consider the cell design to prevent leakage at the cell and the corrosion at connections.
