Because of inevitable losses from the friction in pumps and turbines, such systems return about 70 percent of the power that is put into them (which is called the "round-trip efficiency"). Sadoway says his team''s new liquid-battery system can already deliver the same 70 percent efficiency, and with further refinements may be able to do ...
New All-Liquid Iron Flow Battery for Grid Energy Storage
Iron-based flow batteries designed for large-scale energy storage have been around since the 1980s, and some are now commercially available. What makes this battery different is that it stores energy in a unique liquid chemical formula that combines charged iron with a neutral-pH phosphate-based liquid electrolyte, or energy carrier.
