Abstract

Zinc-bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) hold promise as energy storage systems for facilitating the efficient utilisation of renewable energy due to their low cost, high energy density, safety features, and long cycle life. However, challenges such as uneven zinc deposition leading to zinc dendrite formation on the negative electrode and parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction during charging pose risks of membrane puncturing and short circuits, thereby limiting energy density improvements. Additionally, the sluggish and non-reversible Br2/Br redox reaction hampers battery power density enhancements. Given that electrode properties significantly influence the rate and reversibility of these redox reactions, modifications to the negative and positive electrodes are crucial. While inert carbon-based electrodes are favoured for their corrosion resistance and conductivity, their hydrophobic nature and low electrochemical activity restrain the performance of ZBFBs. The authors present a comprehensive review of recent advancements in both negative and positive electrode modifications in ZBFBs. It also puts forward future research directions aimed at overcoming existing challenges, with the ultimate objective of promoting the efficient utilisation of ZBFBs.

锌溴液流电池碳基电极表面改性研究进展
锌溴液流电池(ZBFBs)由于其低成本、高能量密度、安全性和长循环寿命的特点,在促进可再生能源的有效利用方面有着广阔的前景。然而,不均匀的锌沉积会导致负极上锌枝晶的形成,以及充电过程中的寄生析氢反应,这些都存在刺破膜和短路的风险,从而限制了能量密度的提高。此外,缓慢且不可逆的Br2/Br−氧化还原反应阻碍了电池功率密度的提高。考虑到电极的性质显著影响这些氧化还原反应的速率和可逆性,对负极和正极的修饰是至关重要的。虽然惰性碳基电极因其耐腐蚀性和导电性而受到青睐,但其疏水性和低电化学活性限制了ZBFBs的性能。作者介绍了ZBFBs负极和正极修饰的最新进展。提出了未来的研究方向,旨在克服现有的挑战,最终目标是促进ZBFBs的高效利用。
