The role of the electrode in flow batteries

Instead of being an active participant in the redox reactions, electrodes in flow batteries mainly act as a catalyst, aiding in the reactions of the electrolyte species. This solid electrode, often ma...

Introduction to Flow Batteries: Theory and Applications

In a battery without bulk flow of the electrolyte, the electro-active material is stored internally in the electrodes. However, for flow batteries, the energy component is dissolved in the electrolyte itself.

Electrochemistry Encyclopedia Flow batteries

In contrast, in a flow battery the electro-active materials are stored externally and the electrodes serve only as structural components and passive source/sink of electrons.
