Iron-based flow batteries designed for large-scale energy storage have been around since the 1980s, and some are now commercially available. What makes this battery different is that it stores energy in a unique liquid chemical formula that combines charged iron with a neutral-pH phosphate-based liquid electrolyte, or energy carrier.
A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
This unique feature allows for cost-effective scaling, essential for large-scale applications. Developed using an advanced metal complex and membrane, Iron-Flow Batteries is based at the Paris Flow Tech platform – a premier hub for innovation in continuous flow chemistry.
Among the numerous all-liquid flow batteries, all-liquid iron-based flow batteries with iron complexes redox couples serving as active material are appropriate for long duration energy storage because of the low cost of the iron electrolyte and the flexible design of power and capacity.
The rapid advancement of flow batteries offers a promising pathway to addressing global energy and environmental challenges. Among them, iron-based aqueous redox flow batteries (ARFBs) are a compelling choice for future energy storage systems due to their excellent safety, cost-effectiveness and scalability.
Benefiting from the low cost of iron electrolytes, the overall cost of the all-iron flow battery system can be reached as low as $76.11 per kWh based on a 10 h system with a power of 9.9 kW. This work provides a new option for next-generation cost-effective flow batteries for long duration large scale energy storage.
