We''re going to need a lot more grid storage. New iron batteries
Flow batteries made from iron, salt, and water promise a nontoxic way to store enough clean energy to use when the sun isn''t shining.
Iron redox flow battery
The Iron Redox Flow Battery (IRFB), also known as Iron Salt Battery (ISB), stores and releases energy through the electrochemical reaction of iron salt. This type of battery belongs to the class of redox-flow batteries (RFB), which are alternative solutions to Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) for stationary applications.
What is a flow battery?
Flow battery manufacturers offer a variety of chemistries including vanadium, iron chromium, zinc bromine, zinc iron and more. Flow batteries can also be redox, hybrid and membraneless. Redox flow batteries employ reduction (a gain of electrons) and oxidation (a loss of electrons) reactions as electrons are transferred in the
