Can single-flow membraneless flow batteries reduce system capital costs?
To reduce system capital costs, single-flow membraneless flow batteries are under intense investigation, but require intricate flow engineering. In this work, we analytically and numerically model the flow and chemical species transport for a novel single-flow geometry, and show enhancement of reactant transport and separation.
How do multiphase single flow batteries work?
In multiphase single flow batteries, a well-mixed suspension of droplets within a continuous phase enters the battery cell. Since the droplets’ density differs from the suspension’s density, the droplets sediment or rise to one of the electrodes.
