Redox-Flow Battery

Kelebihan
• Independent scaling of energy (tanks) and power (stack), which allows for a cost/weight/etc. optimization for each
application
• Long cycle and calendar lives (because there are no solid-to-solid phase transitions, that cause degradation of lithium-ion
and related batteries)
• Quick response times
• No need for "equalisation" charging (the overcharging of a battery to ensure all cells have an equal charge)
• No harmful emissions
• Little to no self-discharge during standing
• Full recycling of electroactive materials

Kekurangan
• Low energy density (you need large tanks of electrolyte to store useful amounts of energy)
• Low charge and discharge rates (compared to other industrial electrode processes). This means that the electrodes and
membrane separators need to be large, which increases the cost of power.
• Flow batteries have a lower energy efficiency, because they operate at higher current densities to minimize the effects of
the cross-over (internal self-discharge) and to reduce the cost of power.
