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 is a zinc–bromine flow battery (zbfb)?

A zinc–bromine flow battery (ZBFB) is a type 1 hybrid redox flow battery in which a large part of the energy is stored as metallic zinc, deposited on the anode. Therefore, the total energy storage capacity of this system depends on both the size of the battery (effective electrode area) and the size of the electrolyte storage tanks.

Are zinc–bromine flow batteries economically viable?

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.

Are zinc–bromine rechargeable batteries suitable for stationary energy storage applications?

Zinc–bromine rechargeable batteries are a promising candidate for stationary energy storage applications due to their non-flammable electrolyte, high cycle life, high energy density and low material cost. Different structures of ZBRBs have been proposed and developed over time, from static (non-flow) to flowing electrolytes.

What is an example of a zinc–bromine flow battery?

A typical example is zinc–bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs), in which during the charging stage, solid zinc is deposited on the anode surface [ 22, 25 ]. In type 2, both half-reactions involve phase changes in the charge or discharge phase.

What are static non-flow zinc–bromine batteries?

Static non-flow zinc–bromine batteries are rechargeable batteries that do not require flowing electrolytes and therefore do not need a complex flow system as shown in Fig. 1 a. Compared to current alternatives, this makes them more straightforward and more cost-effective, with lower maintenance requirements.
