The team employed RFD, an electrochemical desalination process utilizing redox reactions to selectively remove ions from saline water. It involves water flow through electrochemical cells, where ion-selective membranes and redox-active species facilitate the removal of ions, resulting in desalinated water. 

The battery gets charged during peak times by incorporating a redox flow battery in the path of electron flow (cathode to anode). It acts as a power source in the absence of renewable energy sources (solar or wind). The result improved the salt removal rate of an RFD system by approximately 20% while reducing energy demands by roughly 33%.
