Zinc–bromine rechargeable batteries (ZBRBs) are one of the most powerful candidates for next-generation energy storage due to their potentially lower material cost, deep discharge capability, non-flammable electrolytes, relatively long lifetime and good reversibility.
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.
In the early stage of zinc–bromine batteries, electrodes were immersed in a non-flowing solution of zinc–bromide that was developed as a flowing electrolyte over time. Both the zinc–bromine static (non-flow) system and the flow system share the same electrochemistry, albeit with different features and limitations.
Zinc–bromine flow batteries have shown promise in their long cycle life with minimal capacity fade, but no single battery type has met all the requirements for successful ESS implementation. Achieving a balance between the cost, lifetime and performance of ESSs can make them economically viable for different applications.
Zinc-bromine batteries (ZBBs) have recently gained significant attention as inexpensive and safer alternatives to potentially flammable lithium-ion batteries. Zn metal is relatively stable in aqueous electrolytes, making ZBBs safer and easier to handle.
