Battery, Flow

In the charging state, it uses electricity to convert zinc oxide to zinc and oxygen. During discharge, the zinc is oxided with oxygen from air which generates electroncs.

The United Technologies Research Center team will develop an energy storage system based on a new flow battery chemistry using inexpensive and readily available sulfur-manganese based active materials. The team will overcome challenges of system control and unwanted crossover between the two active materials through the flow membrane. The affordable reactants, paired with the unique requirements for long-duration electricity discharge, present the opportunity for very low cost energy storage.
