A flow battery is a rechargeable fuel cell in which an electrolyte containing one or more dissolved electroactive elements flows through an electrochemical cell that reversibly converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Electroactive elements are "elements in solution that can take part in an electrode reaction or that can be adsorbed on the electrode."Electrolyte is stored extern.

In contrast with conventional batteries, flow batteries store energy in the electrolyte solutions. Therefore, the power and energy ratings are independent, the storage capacity being determined by the quantity of electrolyte used and the power rating determined by the active area of the cell stack.
Since capacity is independent of the power-generating component, as in an internal combustion engine and gas tank, it can be increased by simple enlargement of the electrolyte storage tanks. Flow batteries allow for independent scaleup of power and capacity specifications since the chemical species are stored outside the cell.
A typical flow battery has been shown in Fig. 8. Some of the main characteristics of flow batteries are high power, long duration, and power rating and the energy rating are decoupled; electrolytes can be replaced easily . Fig. 8. Illustration of flow battery system [133,137]. Zhibin Zhou, ...
The capacity is a function of the amount of electrolyte and concentration of the active ions, whereas the power is primarily a function of electrode area within the cell. Similar to lithium-ion cells, flow battery cells can be stacked in series to meet voltage requirements. However, the electrolyte tanks remain external to the system.
Flow batteries are normally considered for relatively large (1 kWh – 10 MWh) stationary applications with multi-hour charge-discharge cycles. Flow batteries are not cost-efficient for shorter charge/discharge times. Market niches include:
Flow battery design can be further classified into full flow, semi-flow, and membraneless. The fundamental difference between conventional and flow batteries is that energy is stored in the electrode material in conventional batteries, while in flow batteries it is stored in the electrolyte.
