Zinc–bromine flow battery variants are particularly gaining traction due to their high energy density and low-cost materials, positioning them as potential alternatives to traditional rechargeable batteries. These batteries store and deliver electricity by pumping liquid solutions from external tanks through a central reaction unit.
Zinc–bromine rechargeable batteries are a promising candidate for stationary energy storage applications due to their non-flammable electrolyte, high cycle life, high energy density and low material cost. Different structures of ZBRBs have been proposed and developed over time, from static (non-flow) to flowing electrolytes.
Static non-flow zinc–bromine batteries are rechargeable batteries that do not require flowing electrolytes and therefore do not need a complex flow system as shown in Fig. 1 a. Compared to current alternatives, this makes them more straightforward and more cost-effective, with lower maintenance requirements.
