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].
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.
Lee et al. demonstrated a non-flow zinc bromine battery without a membrane. The nitrogen (N)-doped microporous graphene felt (NGF) was used as the positive electrode (Figure 11A,B).
The ZBFB delivers a peak power density of 1.363 W cm −2 at room temperature. The ZBFB stably runs over 1200 cycles (∼710 h) at 200 mA cm −2 and 60 mAh cm −2. Zinc-bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) offer great potential for large-scale energy storage owing to the inherent high energy density and low cost.
A beaker test at open circuit on a zinc bromine cell revealed that H 2 gas can be produced on the fresh zinc metal electrodes at a rate of 3.2 × 10 −3 mL h −1 cm −2 which is equal to 189 mL h −1 when 50-cell battery stacks with an electrode area of 1175 cm 2.
Due to the non-uniform deposition of the zinc, the electric field in this region becomes higher and consumes more Zn 2+ to form dendrite. As the dendrites continue to grow, they can penetrate the membrane and cause short circuiting. Dendrite formation also decreases battery efficiency and potentially causes flow channel blockage.
