Ending Electrolyte Degradation in Aqueous Flow Batteries: Enabling Low-Cost Alternatives for Scalable Grid Storage

Summary

Electrolyte degradation is a major hurdle for durable, low-cost aqueous flow batteries needed for large-duration renewable energy storage. This project developed and integrated a novel 'artificial kidney' device with iron-chemistry flow batteries to rebalance capacity. Results demonstrate 0% capacity degradation over 100 cycles at a 50 cm2 scale, significantly advancing the technology's readiness level.
