Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

An example, she says, is the task of balancing energy flows in the power grid. Nanofluids suspended in water-based electrolytes were first investigated for this application in 2009 by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and the Illinois Institute of Technology. and an expert in flow batteries.
