The leading potential application is stationary energy storage, either for the grid, or for domestic or stand-alone power systems. The aqueous electrolyte makes the system less prone to overheating and fire compared with lithium-ion battery systems. Zinc–bromine batteries can be split into two groups: flow batteries and non-flow batteries.
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.
A solution of zinc bromide is stored in two tanks. When the battery is charged or discharged, the solutions (electrolytes) are pumped through a reactor stack from one tank to the other. One tank is used to store the electrolyte for positive electrode reactions, and the other stores the negative. Energy densities range between 60 and 85 W·h/kg.
Unlike traditional flow systems requiring frequent upkeep and extensive space, the static setup of rechargeable zinc-bromide batteries (RZBBs) in an aqueous environment emerges as a promising option due to its component abundance, secure setup, and compact storage volume.
The zinc–bromine flow battery (ZBRFB) is a hybrid flow battery. A solution of zinc bromide is stored in two tanks. When the battery is charged or discharged, the solutions (electrolytes) are pumped through a reactor stack from one tank to the other.
Biswas et al. also reported a membrane-free zinc bromine static battery (Figure 11D). The anode was placed near the aqueous region of the electrolyte to avoid self-discharge. This membrane-free design saw cycling stability for over 1000 cycles with high coulombic efficiency (90%) and energy efficiency (60%).
