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.
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].
Aqueous zinc-bromine flow batteries show promise for grid storage but suffer from zinc dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction. Here, authors develop a reversible carbon felt electrode with Pb nanoparticles to suppress these issues, improving battery performance and cycle stability.
“This study demonstrates both the proof of concept and the system-scale up of a long-life zinc-bromine flow battery,” the team said. Because bromine levels remained so low, the battery was able to operate reliably using a standard non-fluorinated ion-exchange membrane, eliminating the need for costly corrosion-resistant materials.
