The solar flow battery could thus bridge a gap between today’s energy grid and sources of renewable energy. This solar flow battery design can potentially be applied for grid-scale solar energy conversion and storage, as well as producing ‘electrolyte fuels’ that might be used to power future electric vehicles.
