Electrolyte tanks of a redox flow battery at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology in Pfinztal, GermanyWhat we know: Form Energy is working on a sulfur flow battery
The other technologies Form is working on have been harder to pin down, but the patent, which Business Insider shared with three battery scientists, reveals some clues. In the application, Form refers to different configurations for a "refuelable primary battery solution that addresses bulk seasonal energy storage needs, energy demand variation, and other challenges."
The patent refers to the latter configuration as an "air-breathing" battery, where a certain material would generate electrochemical energy when it reacts with oxygen. "Looks like they're definitely working on both chemistries in their lab, so as to not put all their eggs in one basket," Chang said. "[The] winner will be which, if any, actually work at scale." What Form means by 'refuelable'
"When they are depleted or nearing end of their useful life, the primary battery units may be identified as needing 'refueling,'" the patent said.
‘Refuelable’ battery? You mean, a recharge
