New Lithium rechargeable semi-solid flow cell offers energy densities an order of magnitude greater than previous flow batteries; possible applications in transportation and grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Scheme of the semi-solid flow cell (SSFC) system using flowing lithium-ion cathode and anode suspensions. In contrast to previous flow batteries, the SSFC stores energy in suspensions of solid storage compounds to and from which charge transfer is accomplished via dilute yet percolating networks of nanoscale conductors.
