OverviewOrganicHistoryDesignEvaluationTraditional flow batteriesHybridOther types

Compared to inorganic redox flow batteries, such as vanadium and Zn-Br2 batteries, organic redox flow batteries'' advantage is the tunable redox properties of their active components. As of 2021, organic RFB experienced low durability (i.e. calendar or cycle life, or both) and have not been demonstrated on a commercial scale. Organic redox flow batteries can be further classified into aqueous (AORFBs) and non-aqueou
