Definition:

A flow battery is a battery in which chemical energy is provided by two chemical components dissolved in liquids contained within the system and separated by a membrane. Ion exchange (accompanied by flow of electric current) occurs through the membrane while both liquids circulate in their own respective space.

Definition:

A liquid-metal battery is a battery that consists of two molten metal alloys separated by an electrolyte. The rechargeable batteries are used for electric vehicles and potentially also for grid energy storage.

Definition:

A lithium-ion battery is a battery that is rechargeable and in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge, and back when charging. Li-ion batteries use an intercalated lithium compound as one electrode material.

Definition:

A molten-salt battery is a battery that uses molten salts as an electrolyte and offers both a high energy density and a high power density.

Definition:

A sodium-ion battery is a rechargeable metal-ion battery that uses sodium ions as charge carriers.

Definition:

A traction battery is a battery that is used in vehicles for propulsion.
