The Amazing Potential of Redox Flow Batteries for Renewable Energy Storage
Executive Summary 

A promising, renewable energy storing technology is the reduction-oxidation (redox flow) battery, which has been successfully applied to commercial applications. Redox flow batteries offer an easily scaled-up solution for storing energy, with minimal self-discharge and capacity loss after many charge-discharge cycles. Here, we review the literature on redox flow batteries, identify current research trends in the literature using a new software tool for identifying keywords, and suggest future directions for continuing redox flow battery research.
