The development of various redox-flow batteries for the storage of fluctuating renewable energy has intensified in recent years because of their peculiar ability to be scaled separately in terms of energy and power, and therefore potentially to reduce the costs of energy storage. This has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of publications on redox-flow batteries. This was a motivation to present a comprehensive and critical overview of the features of this type of batteries, focusing mainly on the chemistry of electrolytes and introducing a thorough systematic classification to reveal their potential for future development.
Aufgrund der besonderen Eigenschaft der getrennten Skalierbarkeit von Energie und Leistung und der damit verbundenen potenziell niedrigen Energiespeicherkosten haben sich die Entwicklungen von unterschiedlichen Redox-Flow-Batterien zur Speicherung für fluktuierende erneuerbare Energien in den letzten Jahren intensiviert, was zu einem deutlichen Zuwachs an wissenschaftlicher Literatur geführt hat. Aus diesem Grund wird, anhand einer streng systematischen Einteilung und einem Fokus auf die Chemie der Elektrolyte, ein umfassender und kritischer Überblick über die Eigenschaften dieser Batterien und ihr zukünftiges Entwicklungspotenzial gegeben
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
