Revised text

There are a few different classes of flow batteries that exist. These classes include the redox (reduction-oxidation) flow battery, which is a reversible fuel cell in which all electroactive components are dissolved in the electrolyte. The hybrid flow battery is a class where one or more electroactive components are deposited as a solid layer the system;^[2]. In this case, the electrochemical cell contains one battery electrode and one fuel cell electrode. The main difference between the two classes of batteries is the limiting factor, or the factor that limits the amount of work that the battery can do. The energy of the redox flow battery, as with other fuel cells, is fully decoupled from the power, because the energy is related to the electrolyte volume (amount of liquid electrolyte) and the power to the electrode area (surface area of the electrode), while the hybrid flow battery, similar to typical batteries, is limited in energy by the size of the battery electrode (surface area of the electrode).

Hey, this is very well done! I really like how you explained terms clearly. I feel that you explained this so well that someone with a very limited understanding of chemistry could follow and understand this text. One suggestion that I would make would be maybe include units and also to maybe include real world examples of how these are used. Overall, Great job! It is very thorough.

There is defiantly a lot more clarity here, good job! Easy to read and it includes key points that were previously not apparent. Mcirrito912 (talk) 03:19, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
