Flow batteries exhibit significant advantages over alternative battery technologies in several aspects, including storage duration, scalability and longevity, making them particularly well-suited for large-scale solar energy storage projects.
It is where electrochemical reactions occur between two electrolytes, converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Unlike traditional rechargeable batteries, the electrolytes in a flow battery are not stored in the cell stack around the electrodes; rather, they are stored in exterior tanks separately.

The main types of flow batteries are: Among the various types, some well-known variants include vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and zinc-based flow batteries. Flow batteries work by storing energy in chemical form in separate tanks and utilizing electrochemical reactions to generate electricity.
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 reactions occur between two electrolytes, converting chemical energy into electrical energy.
Mo–BiVO 4 and pTTh dual photoelectrodes enables solar-charging of Fe–Br flow battery. The proposed SRFB system achieved a photocharging current of 1.9 mA cm −2. The SRFB exhibits stable charge-discharge performance in multiple cycles. The construction of SRFB provides cost-effective promise for the utilization of solar energy.
Design Principles and Developments of Integrated Solar Flow Batteries
Integrated solar flow batteries (SFBs) are a new type of device that integrates solar energy conversion and electrochemical storage. In SFBs, the solar energy absorbed by photoelectrodes is converted into chemical energy by charging up redox couples dissolved in electrolyte solutions in contact with the photoelectrodes. To deliver electricity ...
