Lithium-ion flow battery. A lithium-ion flow battery is a flow battery that uses a form of lightweight lithium as its charge carrier. [1] The flow battery stores energy separately from its system for discharging. The amount of energy it can store is determined by tank size; its power density is determined by the size of the reaction chamber.
As the main form of energy storage for new energy automobile, the performance of lithium-ion battery directly restricts the power, economy, and safety of new energy automobile. The heat-related problem of the battery is a key factor in determining its performance, safety, longevity, and cost.
