Abstract: An all-iron non-aqueous redox flow battery (NARFB) based on iron acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) anolyte and N-(ferrocenylmethyl)-N,N-dimethyl -N-ethylammonium bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonyl)imide (Fc1N112-TFSI) catholyte with an open circuit voltage of 1.34 V is designed. Due to the high electrochemical
(e) Cycling performance of alkaline all-iron flow battery at the current density of 80 mA cm −2 at 25 °C. Compared with the recently reported iron-based flow battery systems, the constructed alkaline all-iron flow battery in this work has distinct advantages in terms of cycling stability and energy efficiency (Fig. 4 a and Table S8).
Ultimately, a complete iron flow battery system was constructed by combining this electrolyte with a deep eutectic positive electrolyte. In the 360-hour cycle charge–discharge experiments, an average coulombic efficiency of over 98 % was achieved.
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.
Benefitting from all-liquid type electrochemical reaction in both catholyte and anolyte, varied discharge duration can be easily obtained in the all-iron flow battery by changing the volume of electrolyte. The resulted battery demonstrated impressive performance of LDES, which enables enormous cost reduction of a flow battery.
Combined with high reliability, high performance and low cost, the all-iron flow battery demonstrated a very promising prospect for LDES. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
