Our iron flow batteries work by circulating liquid electrolytes — made of iron, salt, and water — to charge and discharge electrons, providing up to 12 hours of storage capacity. ESS Tech, Inc. (ESS) has developed, tested, validated, and commercialized iron flow technology since 2011.
Iron flow batteries (IFBs) are a type of energy storage device that has a number of advantages over other types of energy storage, such as lithium-ion batteries. IRFBs are safe, non-toxic, have a long lifespan, and are versatile. ESS is a company that is working to make IRFBs better and cheaper.
However, they have inherent limitations when used for long-duration energy storage, including low recyclability and a reliance on “conflict minerals” such as cobalt. Iron flow batteries (IRB) or redux flow batteries (IRFBs) or Iron salt batteries (ISB) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage projects.
Thus, the cost-effective aqueous iron-based flow batteries hold the greatest potential for large-scale energy storage application.
Companies like ESS Tech, Inc. in the USA have made significant strides in developing and commercializing acidic all-iron ARFBs and the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy estimates that this iron-based flow battery would achieve an energy storage cost as low as $125 per kWh .
The rapid advancement of flow batteries offers a promising pathway to addressing global energy and environmental challenges. Among them, iron-based aqueous redox flow batteries (ARFBs) are a compelling choice for future energy storage systems due to their excellent safety, cost-effectiveness and scalability.
