Are zinc-bromine flow batteries suitable for large-scale energy storage?
Zinc-bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) offer great potential for large-scale energy storage owing to the inherent high energy density and low cost. However, practical applications of this technology are hindered by low power density and short cycle life, mainly due to large polarization and non-uniform zinc deposition.
What are zinc-bromine flow batteries?
In particular, zinc-bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) have attracted considerable interest due to the high theoretical energy density of up to 440 Wh kg−1 and use of low-cost and abundant active materials [10, 11].
Can zinc-bromine flow batteries be used in aqueous electrolyte?
Zinc-bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) exhibit considerable potential for future applications due to their high theoretical energy density (435 Wh kg −1), high open-circuit potential (1.82 V), and use of aqueous electrolyte.
Do all zinc-based flow batteries have high energy density?
Indeed, not all zinc-based flow batteries have high energy density because of the limited solubility of redox couples in catholyte. In addition to the energy density, the low cost of zinc-based flow batteries and electrolyte cost in particular provides them a very competitive capital cost.
What is the energy density of zinc-bromine and Zn-vanadium batteries?
The energy densities for zinc-bromine and Zn-vanadium battery are 282 and 56 Wh/L catholyte, respectively (fig. S14). Since we used single-side flow batteries here, which only flow the anolyte, the high discharge of depth was achieved in all AZFB systems (fig. S17).
What is a zinc-based flow battery?
The history of zinc-based flow batteries is longer than that of the vanadium flow battery but has only a handful of demonstration systems. The currently available demo and application for zinc-based flow batteries are zinc-bromine flow batteries, alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries, and alkaline zinc-nickel flow batteries.
