Recent Progress of Lithium-based Semi-solid Flow Batteries

Semi-solid flow battery (SSFBs) is a critical technology for large-scale energy storage due to their promising characteristics of high energy density and design flexibility. Recently, tremendous research efforts have been made to design lithium-based SSFBs (Li-SSFBs). In this review,the working principle and characteristics of Li-SSFBs are presented. The recent development of Li-SSFBs is also highlighted, in particular focusing on the active materials of cathodes and anodes. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of Li-SSFBs are discussed. This will shed light on the research and development of Li-SSFBs.
