What is unique about a flow battery? Flow batteries have a chemical battery foundation. In most flow batteries we find two liquified electrolytes (solutions) which flow and cycle through the area where the energy conversion takes place.This electrolyte is not housed inside this "battery body" and can be stored in separate tanks.
Flow batteries are electrochemical devices that exploit the energy differences from the oxidation states of certain species (often, but not only, ion metals) to store and discharge energy. From:
A flow battery is a rechargeable battery in which electrolyte flows through one or more electrochemical cells from one or more tanks. With a simple flow battery it is straightforward to increase the energy storage capacity by increasing the quantity of electrolyte stored in the tanks.
In contrary to typical batteries, a flow battery consists not only of one body (think of batteries used for your watches or mobile phones), instead of that we have stacks (arrangement of cells where energy conversion occurs), electrolyte

Flow batteries typically include three major components: the cell stack (CS), electrolyte storage (ES) and auxiliary parts.. A flow battery''s cell stack (CS) consists of electrodes and a membrane. It is where electrochemical
Flow batteries are generally safer because they use non-flammable electrolytes, such as vanadium solutions, which are less likely to catch fire compared to the electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, the design of flow batteries allows for the electrolyte tanks to be stored separately from the power stack, increasing their overall safety.
Some recent works show the possibility of the use of flow batteries. The schematic view of the flow battery, an integrated ES system, which is used to store renewable energy, is shown in Fig. 1.20. The flow batteries store electricity in the tanks of liquid electrolyte that is pumped through electrodes to extract the electrons. The flow
However, the electrolyte in a flow battery can degrade with time and use. While all batteries experience electrolyte degradation, flow batteries in particular suffer from a relatively faster form of degradation called "crossover." The membrane is designed to allow small supporting ions to pass through and block the larger active species
Hundreds of flow batteries are already in commercial use. Almost all have a vanadium-saturated electrolyte—often a mix of vanadium sulfate and sulfuric acid—since vanadium enables the highest
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. Different electrodes and electrolytes produce different chemical reactions that affect how the battery works, how much energy it can store and its voltage.
A flow battery is a form of rechargeable battery in which electrolyte containing one or more dissolved electro-active species flows through an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy directly to electricity.

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.
