Semi-solid flow battery

A research team in MIT proposed this concept using lithium-ion battery materials.

[2] In such a system, both positive (cathode) and negative electrode (anode) consist of active material particles with carbon black suspended in liquid electrolyte.

Another research team in University of Virginia reported a carbon-free flow battery system.

[6] Another approach is to pump the liquid phase only, leaving the solid active materials in the energy storage tanks.

A research group reported redox targeting flow battery.
