A flow battery is a rechargeable fuel cell in which an electrolyte containing one or more dissolved electroactive elements flows through an electrochemical cell that reversibly converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Energy stored in solutions that are pumped or flowed through an electrochemical cell. Charge-discharge via redox reactions in solution. Batteries and flow batteries/fuel cells differ in two main aspects.
