Zinc Iron Flow Battery for Energy Storage Technology
Abstract: This comprehensive review delves into the current state of energy storage, emphasizing the technical merits and challenges associated with zinc iron flow
The zinc-iron flow battery technology was originally developed by ViZn Energy Systems. Image: Vizn / WeView. Shanghai-based WeView has raised US$56.5 million in several rounds of financing to commercialise the zinc-iron flow battery energy storage systems technology originally developed by ViZn Energy Systems.
An iron flow battery uses electrolytes made up of iron salts in an ionized form. These batteries are environmentally friendly, safe, and one of the most reliable electrochemical energy storage devices due to their earth-abundant and non-toxic materials.
Zinc-iron flow batteries are non-explosive, non-flammable, non-toxic, recyclable at the end of their life, and made from globally abundant materials. These batteries are suitable for utility-scale wind and solar applications. The US-based ViZn Energy Systems develops and produces flow batteries that experience zero capacity fade over 20 years.
A zinc-bromine flow battery is a type of hybrid flow battery, where zinc bromide electrolyte and metallic zinc are stored in two tanks. The advantages of this energy storage include 100% depth of discharge capability on a daily basis, high energy density, scalability and no shelf life limitations as zinc-bromine batteries are non-perishable.
Iron flow batteries have a longer asset life than Li-ion batteries. Battery manufacturers are collaborating with utility companies to implement iron flow battery projects, aiming to replace diesel-fueled power generation with the more environmentally friendly flow battery system.
As iron flow batteries consist of earth-abundant and non-toxic materials, they are environmentally friendly, safe, and one of the most reliable electrochemical energy storage devices. On the other hand, an iron flow battery uses electrolytes made up of iron salts in an ionized form.
