Technical FAQs 4

Are zinc-based flow batteries good for grid-scale energy storage?

Zinc-based flow batteries have attracted tremendous attention owing to their outstanding advantages of high theoretical gravimetric capacity, low electrochemical potential, rich abundance, and low cost of metallic zinc. Among which, zinc-iron (Zn/Fe) flow batteries show great promise for grid-scale energy storage.

Are neutral zinc–iron flow batteries a good choice?

Neutral zinc–iron flow batteries (ZIFBs) remain attractive due to features of low cost, abundant reserves, and mild operating medium. However, the ZIFBs based on Fe (CN) 63– /Fe (CN) 64– catholyte suffer from Zn 2 Fe (CN) 6 precipitation due to the Zn 2+ crossover from the anolyte.

What is a zinc-based flow battery?

The history of zinc-based flow batteries is longer than that of the vanadium flow battery but has only a handful of demonstration systems. The currently available demo and application for zinc-based flow batteries are zinc-bromine flow batteries, alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries, and alkaline zinc-nickel flow batteries.

Are zinc-iron redox flow batteries safe?

Authors to whom correspondence should be addressed. Zinc–iron redox flow batteries (ZIRFBs) possess intrinsic safety and stability and have been the research focus of electrochemical energy storage technology due to their low electrolyte cost.
