What is a redox flow battery (RFB)?
A comprehensive outlook on this technology with respect to practical energy storage applications is also provided. A redox flow battery (RFB) is an electrochemical system that stores electric energy in two separate electrolyte tanks containing redox couples.
Are redox flow batteries suitable for large-scale energy storage?
Redox flow batteries are prime candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their modular design and scalability, flexible operation, and ability to decouple energy and power. To date, several different redox couples are exploited in redox-flow batteries; some are already commercialized.
Are redox-flow batteries sustainable?
Redox-flow batteries are moving forward to sustainable stationary storage. Focus for RFBs is put on durability and cost targets. VRFBs are leading in terms of performance and market permeation. Alternative technologies are mainly based on low-cost abundant active materials. Membraneless and semisolid RFBs go beyond current conceptual limitations.
How redox chemistry has evolved in flow batteries?
From the zinc-bromide battery to the alkaline quinone flow battery, the evolution of RFBs mirrors the advancement of redox chemistry itself, from metal-centred reactions to organic molecular designs 57. A range of novel redox species and design concepts have been proposed and developed for next-generation flow batteries in recent years.
Can aqueous sulfur-based redox flow batteries be commercialized?
Aqueous sulfur-based redox flow batteries (SRFBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage, yet the gap between the required and currently achievable performance has plagued their practical applications. Here, we propose several engineering strategies towards SRFB commercialization.
Why do redox flow batteries use insoluble solid electroactive materials?
The use of insoluble solid electroactive materials in redox flow batteries allows the increase of energy density. In the semi-solid flow battery (SSFB), solid materials are pumping as flowable slurries through entire systems, eliminating the need for expensive ion-selective membranes in the power conversion reactor.
