Neutral zinc–iron flow batteries (ZIFBs) remain attractive due to features of low cost, abundant reserves, and mild operating medium. However, the ZIFBs based on Fe (CN) 63– /Fe (CN) 64– catholyte suffer from Zn 2 Fe (CN) 6 precipitation due to the Zn 2+ crossover from the anolyte.
Significant technological progress has been made in zinc-iron flow batteries in recent years. Numerous energy storage power stations have been built worldwide using zinc-iron flow battery technology. This review first introduces the developing history.
Among which, zinc-iron (Zn/Fe) flow batteries show great promise for grid-scale energy storage. However, they still face challenges associated with the corrosive and environmental pollution of acid and alkaline electrolytes, hydrolysis reactions of iron species, poor reversibility and stability of Zn/Zn 2+ redox couple.
The alkaline zinc ferricyanide flow battery was first reported by G. B. Adams et al. in 1981; however, further work on this type of flow battery has been broken off, owing to its very poor cycle life and the relatively low operating current density (35 mA cm −2) (McBreen, 1984).
Especially, zinc-iron flow batteries have significant advantages such as low price, non-toxicity, and stability compared with other aqueous flow batteries. Significant technological progress has been made in zinc-iron flow batteries in recent years.
The battery exhibited very high power density, energy density, and efficiencies. Most importantly, by using the self-made, low-cost PBI membrane with ultra-high chemical stability, 3D porous carbon felt electrode, and inexpensive zinc and iron active materials, the cost of zinc/iron battery system is even lower than $90/kWh.
