By moving beyond the classical intercalation chemistry and the conventional redox flow batteries, a variety of new approaches toward high energy density storage are under intensive development. Among them, Li‐redox flow batteries stand out as one that combines the existing knowledge of Li‐ion batteries with the advantage of redox flow systems, and steps further toward functioning as fuel cells by fueling the cell with an external chemical agent. Following a brief recount of the features of Li‐ion and redox flow battery systems, the concept of a Li‐redox flow battery, which emerged from a synergy of the two battery systems, is presented.
