Other flow-type batteries include the zinc–cerium battery, the zinc–bromine battery, and the hydrogen–bromine battery. A membraneless battery relies on laminar flow in which two liquids are pumped through a channel, where they undergo electrochemical reactions to store or release energy. The solutions pass in parallel, with little mixing.
Flow battery design can be further classified into full flow, semi-flow, and membraneless. The fundamental difference between conventional and flow batteries is that energy is stored in the electrode material in conventional batteries, while in flow batteries it is stored in the electrolyte.
Flow batteries require electrolyte to be pumped through the cell stack Pumps require power Pump power affects efficiency Need a fluid model for the battery in order to understand how mechanical losses affect efficiency K.

Volume of electrolyte in external tanks determines energy storage capacity Flow batteries can be tailored for an particular application Very fast response times- < 1 msec Time to switch between full-power charge and full-power discharge Typically limited by controls and power electronics Potentially very long discharge times
Energy conversion is carried out in electrochemical cells similar to fuel cells. Most redox-flow batteries have an energy density comparable to that of lead-acid batteries, but a significantly longer lifespan. In the electrochemical cell, electrolyte solutions flow through the half-cell compartments of the plus and minus pole.
