Zinc-bromine energy storage flow battery
Zinc bromine flow battery (ZBFB) is a promising battery technology for stationary energy storage. However, challenges specific to zinc anodes must be resolved, including zinc dendritic growth,
Aqueous zinc-bromine batteries (AZBBs) gain considerable attention as a next-generation energy storage technology due to their high energy density, cost-effectiveness and intrinsic safety. Despite these advantages, challenges such as the polybromide ion shuttle effect, self-discharge, and zinc anode instability hinder their widespread 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.
Zinc-bromine batteries (ZBBs) have recently gained significant attention as inexpensive and safer alternatives to potentially flammable lithium-ion batteries. Zn metal is relatively stable in aqueous electrolytes, making ZBBs safer and easier to handle.
In this context, aqueous rechargeable zinc-based batteries (AZBs), which employ metallic zinc as the anode, have garnered considerable attention as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage applications.
