AquaPIM Schematic (IMAGE) DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Caption Schematic of a flow battery with an ion-selective AquaPIM membrane (noted in beige). Berkeley Lab scientists discovered that such a model could predict the lifetime and efficiency of a flow battery for the electric grid without having to build an entire device.
