Get a quoteZinc bromine flow batteries or Zinc bromine redux flow batteries (ZBFBs or ZBFRBs) are a type of rechargeable electrochemical energy storage system that relies on the redox reactions between zinc and bromine. Like all flow batteries, ZFBs are unique in that the electrolytes are not solid-state that store energy in metals.
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.
While zinc bromine flow batteries offer a plethora of benefits, they do come with certain challenges. These include lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries, lower round-trip efficiency, and the need for periodic full discharges to prevent the formation of zinc dendrites, which could puncture the separator.
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.
Static non-flow zinc–bromine batteries are rechargeable batteries that do not require flowing electrolytes and therefore do not need a complex flow system as shown in Fig. 1 a. Compared to current alternatives, this makes them more straightforward and more cost-effective, with lower maintenance requirements.
Zinc–bromine batteries from different manufacturers have energy densities ranging from 34.4 to 54 Wh/kg. The predominantly aqueous electrolyte is composed of zinc bromide salt dissolved in water. During charge, metallic zinc is plated from the electrolyte solution onto the negative electrode surfaces in the cell stacks.
