6 FAQs about [Fuel Cell Flow Battery]

What is the difference between flow battery and fuel cell?

There are major differences when comparing a flow battery vs fuel cell as they both differ in operational and functional qualities. But the major difference between both battery types is that while a flow battery can be charged and discharged accordingly, a fuel cell cannot.

What is the fundamental difference between batteries and fuel cells?

The fundamental difference between batteries and fuel cells is whether energy is stored in a solid state electrode material (batteries) or in the electrolyte (fuel cells). Using this historical convention, a redox flow battery is better described as a secondary fuel cell or regenerative fuel cell.

Do fuel cells and flow batteries need a balance of plant?

As mentioned above fuel cells and flow batteries are flow processes and a balance of plant (BoP) is needed. The batch process in secondary batteries doesn’t need BoP. An ionic transport membrane is always needed in fuel cells and flow batteries.

What is a redox flow battery?

A redox flow battery is better described as a secondary fuel cell or regenerative fuel cell. The fundamental difference between batteries and fuel cells lies in whether energy is stored in a solid state electrode material (batteries) or in the electrolyte (fuel cells).
