A new kind of flow battery is fueled by semi‐solid suspensions of high‐energy‐density lithium storage compounds that are electrically ‘wired’ by dilute percolating networks of nanoscale conductor particles. Energy densities are an order of magnitude greater than previous flow batteries; new applications in transportation and grid‐scale storage may result.
