ResumoAbstract Electrochemistry has made a significant impact on scientific discovery and industrial development throughout recent history. One of the most important contributions of the field, the battery, has provided much of the energy storage for this progress. Recently, redox flow batteries have emerged as a promising modern battery technology toward grid‐scale energy storage. Through the employment of non‐aqueous electrolytes and optimization of redox‐active organic molecules as catholyte and anolyte, these batteries have the potential to offer affordable, environmentally‐friendly energy storage without sacrificing desirable high energy densities and long cycling lifetimes. These developments are ongoing, and the associated computational tools have expanded the capabilities and scope of redox flow batteries and shown a path toward the eventual commercialization of this technology to continue to provide power to humanity into a bright future.
