Key strengths include: fully liquid electrolytes on both electrodes, avoiding reliance on solid electrode materials; the use of earth-abundant iron (Fe) and sulfur (S), resulting in significantly lower material costs than all-vanadium and many other battery chemistries; aqueous.

The aqueous iron (Fe) redox flow battery here captures energy in the form of electrons (e-) from renewable energy sources and stores it by changing the charge of iron in the flowing liquid electrolyte.

Researchers in Australia have created a new kind of water-based “flow battery” that could transform how households store rooftop solar energy. The system could outperform expensive.

These batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes, which introduces a different set of safety considerations.
