Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. The cell of a flow battery uses two chemical solutions containing ions, one acting as the anolyte (adjacent to the anode), the other as the catholyte (near the cathode).
