Wide-scale utilization of flow batteries is, however, limited by the abundance and cost of these materials, particularly those using redox-active metals and precious-metal electrocatalysts. But until now, flow batteries have relied on chemicals that are expensive or hard to maintain, driving up the cost of storing energy. Background.

For some (not all) use cases, the economic advantages of going electric have been clear for a long time, and yet we’ve seen a dozen EV manufacturers go bust while trying to address the commercial market, while fleet operators continue to buy diesel vehicles, which continue to belch out clouds of oily black smoke. They buy to make money.
