Abstract With the rapid development of renewable energy, the demand for long-duration energy storage technologies in next-generation power systems is growing increasingly urgent. Flow batteries, leveraging their inherently safe operation, ultra-long cycle life, strong environmental compatibility, and modular scalability, are gradually emerging as the preferred technical solution for large-scale long- duration energy storage. This review systematically examines five energy storage battery technologies including vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), iron-chromium flow batteries, zinc-bromine flow batteries, zinc-iron flow batteries, and organic flow batteries. It analyzes the technical principles and performance characteristics of flow battery energy storage, summarizes key research advancements in this field, and finally lists the engineering demonstration application cases of liquid flow battery energy storage at home and abroad.
