The discharging process is similar to that of conventional Li–I batteries—electrochemical oxidation of Li to Li + on the anode side and reduction of I 3 – to I – on the CE side produces electricity. The solar flow battery could thus bridge a gap between today’s energy grid and sources of renewable energy.

Many future owners may be driving EVs in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint and charging at home could give them the opportunity to control the source of the energy that goes into their car. For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
