I was poking around in Yahoo Finance, and ran across ESS Tech $GWH.
They make an Iron Redox Flow Battery, which might be an alternative to Li-Ion for large scale energy storage.
Main advantage is 10,000+ cycle life
Main disadvantage, is extremely bulky, unlikely to replace small size batteries.
There is also vanadium redox flow battery. Has been arounf 90+ years, but V is expensive and also fairly toxic, especially compared to Fe.
Anyone done any further research on this? Any recommendations?
Some links I found.
