Just for all-vanadium flow batteries the power density may vary between 50 and more than 500 mA cm −2 with an energy density of about 30 Wh L −1, while zinc-polyiodide flow batteries have even reached 167 Wh L −1 in a developmental stage 43, 44.
A promising technology for performing that task is the flow battery, an electrochemical device that can store hundreds of megawatt-hours of energy — enough to keep thousands of homes running for many hours on a single charge. Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design.
