Guide In this perspective, we first review the development of battery components, cell stacks, and demonstration systems for zinc-based flow battery technologies from the
The most common and more mature technology is the zinc-bromine flow battery which uses bromine, complexed bromine, or HBr3 as the catholyte active material. The bromine couple has the advantage of fast kinetics (high power) and the bromine and complexed bromine (with organic amines) formed forms a separate immiscible liquid phase which sinks.
In the early stage of zinc–bromine batteries, electrodes were immersed in a non-flowing solution of zinc–bromide that was developed as a flowing electrolyte over time. Both the zinc–bromine static (non-flow) system and the flow system share the same electrochemistry, albeit with different features and limitations.
The traditional Br-FBs include zinc-bromine flow battery (ZBFB), hydrogen-bromine flow battery (HBFB), sodium polysulfide-bromine flow battery (PBFB), and vanadium-bromine flow battery (VBFB).
Zinc–bromine batteries from different manufacturers have energy densities ranging from 34.4 to 54 Wh/kg. The predominantly aqueous electrolyte is composed of zinc bromide salt dissolved in water. During charge, metallic zinc is plated from the electrolyte solution onto the negative electrode surfaces in the cell stacks.
Zinc–bromine flow batteries have shown promise in their long cycle life with minimal capacity fade, but no single battery type has met all the requirements for successful ESS implementation. Achieving a balance between the cost, lifetime and performance of ESSs can make them economically viable for different applications.
In a ZnBr battery, two aqueous electrolytes act as the electrodes of the battery and store charge. The electrolyte solutions contain the reactive components, zinc and bromine, and as these solutions flow through the battery's cells, reversible electrochemical reactions occur, and energy is either charged to the battery or discharged.
