[[Iron-redox flow batteries]] are a type of battery made from mostly [[iron]], an extremely abundant metal. | |||
But this battery comes with a few challanges: | |||
* The iron has to be kept ''molten'' at very hot temperatures. | |||
** Hence it's only viable to build a battery the size of a [[shipping container]], not smaller. | |||
** This battery is '''not''' suited for electric vehicles. | |||
