Liquid Metal Flow Battery Research

Education and Research

A flow battery using potassium and sodium as the anode material, designed for grid-scale energy storage. The battery contains two charged liquids separated by a membrane that allows electron transfer while keeping the liquids physically separated.

A type of battery system that is a cross between a fuel cell and a battery. It is used to power vehicles and can be part of a clean transportation solution.

California

A new type of flow battery using potassium and sodium as the anode material. The battery can store twice as much energy as existing flow batteries and is designed for grid-scale renewable energy storage using Earth-abundant, non-toxic materials.
