Flow Batteries - From Fundamentals to Applications

From basics to commercial applications: This two-volume compilation covers the main aspects and recent developments of Flow Batteries (FBs, sometimes also known as Redox Flow Batteries), encompassing the electrochemical fundamentals, the materials used and their characterization. It contains chapters on FB computational modelling and simulations, including quantum mechanical considerations, on cell, stack and system modelling, on techno-economics and grid behaviour. The mature vanadium FB variant as well as several new and emerging alterative chemistries are presented, including the Organic FB technology.
Finally, chapters on commercially available FBs and their manufacturers, and on technological challenges and drawbacks, round off this all-encompassing resource for developers and users of this key technology.
