With super high energy density, long cycling life, and a simple structure, a ZISFB becomes a very promising candidate for large scale energy storage and even for power batteries. A zinc–iodine single flow battery (ZISFB) with super high energy density, efficiency and stability was designed and presented for the first time.
With the gradual recognition and extensive reports of the aqueous zinc-ion battery, the zinc–iodine battery has returned to researchers' field of vision. In this study, the progresses of the zinc–iodine flow battery and zinc–iodine battery are described and the breakthrough achievements are highlighted.
The zinc‑chlorine and zinc‑bromine RFBs were demonstrated in 1921, and 1977 , respectively, and the zinc‑iodine RFB was proposed by Li et al. in 2015 . However, zinc-chloride flow batteries suffer from the simultaneous involvement of liquid and gas storage and the slow kinetics of the Cl 2 /Cl - reaction .
The history of zinc-based flow batteries is longer than that of the vanadium flow battery but has only a handful of demonstration systems. The currently available demo and application for zinc-based flow batteries are zinc-bromine flow batteries, alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries, and alkaline zinc-nickel flow batteries.
The zinc–iodine battery has the advantages of high energy density and low cost owing to the flexible multivalence changes of iodine and natural abundance of zinc resources. Compared with the flow battery, it has simpler components and more convenient installation, yet it still faces challenges in practical applications.
