As their name suggests, flow batteries consist of two chambers, each filled with a different liquid. The batteries charge through an electrochemical reaction and store energy in chemical bonds. When connected to an external circuit, they release that energy, which can power electrical devices.
The aqueous iron (Fe) redox flow battery here captures energy in the form of electrons (e-) from renewable energy sources and stores it by changing the charge of iron in the flowing liquid electrolyte. When the stored energy is needed, the iron can release the charge to supply energy (electrons) to the electric grid.
The flow battery is mainly composed of two parts: an energy system and a power system. In a flow battery, the energy is provided by the electrolyte in external vessels and is decoupled from the power.
Based on the different concentrations of sulfur species, the energy density of the battery is 30∼145 Wh L −1 with the chemical cost of the active material is ∼1 US$·kWh −1, which is the lowest level. 3.2.4.2.
Flow batteries can serve as backup generators for the electric grid. Flow batteries are one of the key pillars of a decarbonization strategy to store energy from renewable energy resources. Their advantage is that they can be built at any scale, from the lab-bench scale, as in the PNNL study, to the size of a city block.
Iron-based flow batteries designed for large-scale energy storage have been around since the 1980s, and some are now commercially available. What makes this battery different is that it stores energy in a unique liquid chemical formula that combines charged iron with a neutral-pH phosphate-based liquid electrolyte, or energy carrier.

6 · Liquid crystal materials can flow like a liquid, but the molecules'' crystal formation acts like a solid, at least temporarily. In fact, liquid crystals are more common in our daily lives than we might think. For example, the thin films of soap bubbles can exhibit liquid crystal-like behavior, although the energy that creates the bubbles—such as sloshing your hand in a bucket of …
