    摘要: The invention refers to a redox microfluidic energy storage system comprising a battery reactor, an electrolyte tank storing a positive liquid electrolyte, another electrolyte tank storing a negative electrolyte, a battery management system and a flow circulation system. The battery reactor comprises a plurality of membraneless battery microcells connected to each other. The flow circulation system supplies the electrolytes at particular flow rates to the battery reactor such that they are under a laminar flow regime creating an interphase therebetween for transferring ion charge carriers between them. The battery management system causes the flow circulation system to supply the electrolytes to the battery reactor and simultaneously supply an electrical current through the electrodes of the battery reactor to electrically charge the system or to supply the electrolytes to the battery reactor releasing an electrical current through the electrodes to electrically discharge the system.
