Abstract:
As our society grows, the energy requirements of our devices and machines increase. As we can see, there are many ways to generate electrical power. However there are less ways to store it. The only logical solution to this problem is to change our approach, to slowly move toward developing technologies that generate the energy demanded by our society in a friendlier and more efficient manner. Thus the demand for more efficient storage units will increase. To make use of all that energy, we have to develop new energy storage technologies that are both efficient and cheap. With this in mind, the subject discussed in this paper is about a flow battery that, with enough research and development, can be one of the solutions for our future energy storage problem. This battery uses some of the most important characteristics of different classes of batteries that are combined and used in synergy to create a new hybrid battery. Thus the different aspects of each, work together in an harmonious manner to improve the characteristics of the final flow cell.
