The equipment was explained in a recent paper forEnergy and Environmental Scienceby the scientists.
The electrons will flow to the positive terminal once a wire is connected between the two terminals.
However, even liquid flow batteries normally need complex systems involving storage tanks, pumps, and valves.
Since there are far more chances for leaks or failures, it is costly to maintain.
It not only significantly decreases the difficulty of the whole system, but also reduces the total cost.
Currently, it is just a proof-of-concept design.
However, Chang et al.
are assertive that they can develop a viable prototype.
