Flow batteries are innovative systems that use liquid electrolytes stored in external tanks to store and supply energy. They're highly flexible and scalable, making them ideal for large-scale needs like grid support and renewable energy integration. Unlike traditional lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries, flow batteries offer longer life spans, scalability, and the ability to discharge for extended durations.

Designed for large-scale energy storage, iron-based flow batteries have been around since the 1980s. This battery is different from other batteries because it stores energy in a unique liquid chemical formula that combines charged iron with a neutral-pH phosphate-based energy carrier. However, the advancement of various types of iron-based ARFBs is hindered by several critical challenges. . A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The design provides a pathway to a safe, economical, water-based, flow battery. . Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a new large-scale energy storage battery design featuring a commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities. In the 1970s, scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed the first iron flow. .
