Schematics of Li + /Na + mixed-ion battery. Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. During charging (or discharging), the storage (or release) of Li + takes place at anode, and the release (or storage) of Na + occurs at cathode. Chen et al.

DECEMBER 24, 2023

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). Typical redox flow batteries use ions based on iron chromium or vanadium chemistries; the latter takes advantage of vanadium’s four distinct ionic states.
