The "Juche" Flow Battery: A National Pride Inspired by vanadium flow batteries, scientists claim a proprietary design using locally mined zinc. Early tests show 65% efficiency—not stellar, but a start. State media calls it “a revolutionary leap in energy storage self-reliance.”
[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.
