Revolutionizing Electric Vehicles: How Flow Batteries Could
Influit has invented special nanoparticles that allow for higher energy densities without increasing viscosity or compromising the intrinsic advantages of the flow battery. In practice, this innovation allows for much more "energy" to be concentrated per liter of "fuel".
Influit Going Commercial
Influit Energy, a spinoff from Illinois Institute of Technology, is going commercial in a big way. They claim to have developed a "rechargeable electrofuel – a non-flammable, fast-refueling liquid flow battery that already carries 23 percent more energy than lithium batteries, at half the cost." Reporting by Loz Blain in New Atlas notes the company

Discover the Science Behind Flow Batteries
When the battery is discharged, the electrolytes flow back into their tanks, and the stored energy is released as electrical current. One of the major advantages of flow batteries is their ability to decouple power and energy. Power refers to the rate at which energy is delivered, while energy refers to the total amount of stored capacity
