An electrolyte is a substance that conducts through the movement of, but not through the movement of . This includes most soluble,, and, dissolved in a like water. Upon dissolving, the substance separates into and, which disperse uniformly throughout the solvent. also exist. In medicine and sometimes in chemistry, the term electrolyte refers to the substance that is dissolved.

While iron-based flow batteries have been around for decades, this iteration has the ability to store energy in a unique chemical formula comprised of charged iron and a neutral-pH phosphate-based liquid electrolyte, otherwise known as an energy carrier. . A new recipe provides a pathway to a safe, economical, water-based, flow battery made with Earth-abundant materials RICHLAND, Wash. — A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department. . 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) has developed, tested, validated, and commercialized iron flow technology since 2011. It circulates these electrolytes through electrochemical cells separated by an ion-exchange membrane.
