Last, we extended it to aqueous zinc-bromine and zinc-vanadium flow batteries of contemporary interest. It is again found that high power density (255 and 260 mW/cm 2, respectively) and high areal capacity (20 mA·hour/cm 2) can be simultaneously achieved in AZFBs.
What are zinc-bromine flow batteries?
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].
What is a non-flow electrolyte in a zinc–bromine battery?
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.
