Redox flow batteries as energy storage systems: materials, viability, and industrial applications.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The rapid development and implementation of large-scale energy storage systems represents a critical response to the increasing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the global energy grid. Redox flow batteries (RFBs) have emerged as a promising solution for large-scale energy storage due to their inherent advantages, including modularity, scalability, and the decoupling of energy capacity from power output. These attributes make RFBs particularly well-suited for addressing the challenges of fluctuating renewable energy sources. Several redox couples have been investigated for use in RFBs, some of which have already achieved commercialization. However, advancement in RFBs technology faces significant hurdles spanning scientific, engineering, and economic domains. Key challenges include limited energy density, high overall costs, electrolyte instability, and issues related to solvent migration across cation exchange membranes, leading to cross-contamination between anolyte and catholyte. Additionally, anion exchange membranes introduce reverse flow complications, and graphite felt used in the catholyte compartment is susceptible to corrosion. These issues necessitate ongoing research to develop viable solutions. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of recent progress in electrolyte technologies, highlighting improvements in electrochemical performance, stability, and durability, as well as strategies to enhance the energy and power densities of RFBs. Moreover, it classifies various three-dimensional (3D) electrode materials, including foam, biomass, and electrospun fibers, and examines how their structural and compositional modifications can facilitate improved mass transport and increase active sites for redox reactions in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). By exploring innovative electrode designs and functional enhancements, this review seeks to advance the conceptualization and practical application of 3D electrodes to optimize RFB performance for large-scale energy storage solutions.
