Introduction to Flow Batteries: Theory and Applications

Flow batteries, particularly those with reactions involving only valence changes of ions, are especially robust in their cycle lifetime, power loading, and charging rate. Since for non-hybrid flow batteries there are no concerns associated with solid active substances (such as with lithium-ion batteries, which experience significant degradation in capacity and efficiency over time), the
