Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. Their energy density is as little as 10 percent that of lithium-ion batteries. There is only so much salt you can dissolve in a glass of water.

The team then used ultrasonic irradiation to facilitate the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution and an aqueous sulfur precursor of sodium thiosulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ) in the presence of CCs to yield a composite of CC particles with pure nano-size sulfur (CCs/S composite) and a water soluble by-product of sodium chloride (NaCl).
