Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

An example, she says, is the task of balancing energy flows in the power grid. Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries. and an expert in flow batteries. However, conventional flow batteries pack very little energy into a given volume and mass.
