Flow batteries could be powerful energy storers to one day replace dirty energy sources.

Researchers from Imperial College in London and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in China are high on flow batteries because they are simply made, with two tanks holding special liquids, some pumps, and piping.

A suitable membrane must meet conductivity and capacity benchmarks, among other points.
