However, the irregular deposition of zinc on electrodes hinders the widespread utilization of rechargeable ZABs due to limited durability and stability. This study investigates the role of electrolyte flow in enhancing zinc electrodeposition and overall performance in zinc-air flow batteries (ZAFBs) at high current densities.
For example, in September 2013, ViZn Energy, Inc., in the United States (having previously developed zinc-air cells as Zinc Air, Inc.) has reported a “zinc-iron” flow battery for large-scale energy storage ( ViZn, 2013 ). While few details are given, the cell is believed to use alkaline electrolytes.
In this regard, zinc-air flow batteries (ZAFBs) are seen as having the capability to fulfill this function. In flow batteries, the electrolyte is stored in external tanks and circulated through the cell. This study provides the requisite experimental data for parameter estimation as well as model validation of ZAFBs.
Zinc-air flow batteries Small, primary zinc-air button-type batteries have been commercially available for a number of years and larger prismatic and cylindrical cells have also been developed ( Chakkaravarthy et al., 1981, Linden and Reddy, 2002 ). Rechargeable flow batteries are in the early stage of development.
Zinc-air flow batteries remain at the early development stage. In both acidic and alkaline media, significant developments in the chemistry and electrochemistry of both electrodes are necessary before they will be commercially successful.
Certainly, the zinc-nickel flow battery is the most advanced of the zinc-based flow batteries and it is likely to be the first developed into a commercial system. Indeed, a Chinese Company ( Zhangjiagang Smart Grid Fanghua Electrical Energy Storage Research Institute Co. Limited, 2012) already appears to be marketing a Zn/Ni flow battery system.
