Holding energy in liquids rather than solid cells could change how storage scales. What you'll learn: • Why capacity is set by tank size rather than cell size • How flow batteries let energy and power scale independently • The three obstacles left: how much the liquids can carry, whether the molecules survive repeated cycling, and the cost of the membrane
