Form Energy will develop a long-duration energy storage system that takes advantage of the low cost and high abundance of sulfur in a water-based solution. Previous MIT research demonstrated that aqueous sulfur flow batteries represent the lowest chemical cost among rechargeable batteries.
[pdf] A critical factor in designing flow batteries is the selected chemistry. The two electrolytes can contain different chemicals, but today the most widely used setup has vanadium in different oxidation states.
[pdf] Researchers in Australia have created a new kind of water-based “flow battery” that could transform how households store rooftop solar energy. Credit: Stock Monash scientists designed a fast, safe liquid battery for home solar. The system could outperform expensive lithium-ion options.
