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.

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 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].

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.

Can a zinc bromine static battery control self-discharge?

Gao et al. demonstrated a zinc bromine static battery with a glass fibre membrane as the separator to control the self-discharge and improve the energy efficiency (Figure 10). This static battery was achieved by using tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) as the complexing agent.

Are zinc-bromine batteries safe?

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.
