OSU team develops new aqueous lithium-iodine solar flow battery; 20% energy savings over Li-I batteries

Green Car Congress

The charging voltage reduction translates to energy savings of close to 20% compared to conventional Li−I batteries. This concept, the researchers notes in their paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , also serves as a guiding design that can be extended to other metal-redox flow battery systems.
