A nickel–metal hydride battery (NiMH or Ni–MH) is a type of rechargeable battery. The chemical reaction at the positive electrode is similar to that of the older nickel–cadmium cell (NiCd), with both using nickel oxide hydroxide, NiO(OH). However, the negative electrodes use a hydrogen-absorbing alloy instead of cadmium. NiMH batteries typically have two to three times the capa. HistoryWork on NiMH batteries began at the -Geneva Research Center following the technology's invention in 1967. It was based on Ti2Ni+TiNi+x alloys and NiOOH electrodes. Development was sponsored. .
The negative electrode reaction occurring in a NiMH cell is H2O + M + e ⇌ OH + MHOn the positive electrode, nickel oxyhydroxide, NiO(OH), is formed: Ni(OH)2 +. .
When fast-charging, it is advisable to charge the NiMH cells with a smart to avoid , which can damage cells. The simplest of the safe charging methods is with a fix.

The vanadium redox battery (VRB), also known as the vanadium flow battery (VFB) or vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), is a type of rechargeable which employs ions as . The battery uses vanadium's ability to exist in a solution in four different to make a battery with a single electroactive element instead of two.

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.

A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after ), is a type of where is provided by two chemical components in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane. inside the cell (accompanied by current flow through an external circuit) occurs across the membrane while the liquids circulate in their respective spaces.

Pissoort mentioned the possibility of VRFBs in the 1930s. NASA researchers and Pellegri and Spaziante followed suit in the 1970s, but neither was successful. presented the first successful demonstration of an All-Vanadium Redox Flow Battery employing dissolved vanadium in a solution of in the 1980s. Her design used sulfuric acid electrolytes,.
