In addition, demineralized water consumption will be reduced by approximately 45%, saving two million gallons of water annually and increasing the life of the equipment. As a result, the system does not need to burn fuel and consume water in stand-by mode to be able to dispatch power immediately when demand surges.

Furthermore, this electrode permits higher charging voltages by suppressing the parasitic water-splitting reactions. The quinones are dissolved in water, which prevents them from catching fire. The molecule the Harvard team used in its first quinone-based flow battery is almost identical to one found in rhubarb.
