Get a quoteIn the 1970s, scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed the first iron flow batteries using an iron/chromium system for photovoltaic applications. Over the next decade, these unique systems, which combine charged iron with an aqueous liquid energy carrier, were improved upon for large-scale energy storage.
Iron–chromium flow battery (ICFB) is one of the most promising technologies for energy storage systems, while the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during the negative process remains a critical issue for the long-term operation. To solve this issue, In³⁺ is firstly used as the additive to improve the stability and performance of ICFB.
“The new iron flow battery is a good candidate for longer duration batteries, with discharge over 10-20 hours,” he said. “And we have improved on this old design because of a fundamental understanding of both the battery and the material design. By engaging in a deep dive into the materials, we discovered things we didn’t know before.
Its advantages include long cycle life, modular design, and high safety [7, 8]. The iron-chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB) is a type of redox flow battery that uses the redox reaction between iron and chromium to store and release energy . ICRFBs use relatively inexpensive materials (iron and chromium) to reduce system costs .
“With these conventional iron flow batteries, the liquid is on the cathode, and they use a fully dissolved catholyte. But on the anode side, they take advantage of iron plating,” Li said. “We wanted to find a way to make the battery full flow, entirely soluble, and remove the iron plating so that we could improve upon the original design.”
When asked about the biggest challenges involved with designing this new type of iron flow battery, Li said making the iron soluble so it can interact with the electrolyte was one. But he and his team also spent a good amount of time working to come up with the right voltage potential to make the battery work.
