Description
Xiao Wang leads a 2026 team building a flow battery with no membrane at all, pairing lithium metal with an organic liquid cathode. Membranes usually keep the two fluids apart yet add cost and resistance. Their cell stacks two liquids that refuse to mix. A deep eutectic lithium fluid sits below, while a chlorine solvent floats above it. The upper fluid holds a sulfur nitrogen dye that stores charge and stays in its own layer.
The stack reached about 3.6 volts, high for this class. After 100 cycles it kept most of its charge with near perfect charge recovery, and a flowing version ran ten days with little self drain. Cost estimates undercut vanadium systems, and both fluids resist flame. Wang and the team credit the eutectic lithium mix for the wide, stable window.
