Are zinc-bromine flow batteries a viable alternative to all-vanadium flow batteries?Ensuring a stable power output from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, depends on the development of large-scale and long-duration energy storage devices. Zinc–bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) have emerged as cost-effective and high-energy-density solutions, replacing expensive all-vanadium flow batteries.
Are zinc–bromine flow batteries good for grid-scale energy storage?Zinc–bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) hold great promise for grid-scale energy storage owing to their high theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, conventional ZBFBs suffer from inhomogeneous zinc deposition and sluggish Br 2 /Br – redox kinetics, resulting in a short cycle life and low power density.
