A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after reduction–oxidation), is a type of electrochemical cell where chemical energy is provided by two chemical components dissolved in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane. Ion transfer inside the cell (accompanied by current flow through an external circuit) occurs across the membrane while the liquids circulate in their respective spaces.

Flow batteries can be classified using different schemes: 1) Full-flow (where all reagents are in fluid phases: gases, liquids, or liquid solutions), such as vanadium redox flow battery vs semi-flow, where one or more electroactive phases are solid, such as zinc-bromine battery.
By 2030, flow batteries could be storing about 61 MW h of electricity each year and generating annual sales for producers of more than $22 billion, Zulch said. “We have a big opportunity here. The numbers are staggering.” Energy companies are obvious customers.
Solar energy containers offer a reliable and sustainable energy solution with numerous advantages. Despite initial cost considerations and power limitations, their benefits outweigh the challenges. As technology continues to advance and adoption expands globally, the future of solar containers looks promising.
Sumitomo Electric has built flow batteries for use in Taiwan, Belgium, Australia, Morocco and California. Hokkaido's flow battery farm was the biggest in the world when it opened in April 2022—until China deployed one eight times larger that can match the output of a natural gas plant.
