QUANT:The liquid flow electric vehicle is made Europe Liechtenstein nanoFLOWCELL company developed using liquid flow battery technology electric car, was named QUANT e-Sportslimousine, liquid flow battery power system can support the car to travel 400-600 km.

The liquid flow battery is a rechargeable battery. Two liquids with opposite charges (electrolytes) exchange ions there and then convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Previously, there was usually a thin film to keep the electrolytes separate so that the two liquids would not mix when they exchanged ions. But often the electrolytes used do not cost much, but they have to erode the not cheap film, which also greatly shortens the life of the battery. So the best way for researchers to achieve their goal is to simply remove the use of film.

In order to keep the two liquids from mixing together, the researchers used fluid dynamics. The researchers used the laminar flow technique in fluid dynamics to place them in a container. The electrolyte storage will be separate from the battery itself, with two slots holding the electrolyte, which means that the size of the battery can be easily controlled by simply changing the size of the slots. The power generation will also range from tens of millions to several megawatts.

In addition to the adjustable size, there are more benefits to liquid flow batteries The benefits: "can be idle for a long time without losing charge, fast response time, by changing the electrolyte can be charged and discharged very quickly" Because of this, a few years ago, there are people who promote this should be used for fast charging of electric vehicles. On the other hand, liquid flow batteries are more complex than ordinary batteries, each requiring its own pump and sensor system. And the energy density is lower than the general lithium battery.

The first QUANT e- The Sportlimousine prototype is equipped with a 200-liter battery compartment with a storage capacity of 120 kWh. The car consumes about 20 kWh per 100 km under low load conditions. The company said that in the future it is expected to expand the volume of the battery compartment to 800 liters.

Power, the QUANT prototype is equipped with four motors with a continuous power of 120 kW and a peak power of 170 kW, which can realize four-wheel drive through torque distribution and can also serve as a backup energy storage device for the two supercapacitors in the car. The individual peak torque of each wheel can reach 2,900 Nm. The acceleration time of 100 kilometers is an amazing 2.8 seconds.

In addition to the significant advantages in price and range, the new liquid flow battery is safer and easier to integrate into vehicle design than the batteries currently used in cars.
