Conclusions Hydrogen side-reactions lead to an electrolyte imbalance in all-iron flow batteries, and this occurs simultaneously for iron and hydrogen species. Fortunately, this problem can be corrected using an appropriate rebalancing system.
Drawing inspiration from the preliminary research done in CWRU which modeled 5 kW all-iron redox flow battery system, Energy Storage Systems Company has successfully manufactured and commercialized all-iron redox flow batteries for large-scale applications.
Benefiting from the low cost of iron electrolytes, the overall cost of the all-iron flow battery system can be reached as low as $76.11 per kWh based on a 10 h system with a power of 9.9 kW. This work provides a new option for next-generation cost-effective flow batteries for long duration large scale energy storage.
The Iron Redox Flow Battery (IRFB), also known as Iron Salt Battery (ISB), stores and releases energy through the electrochemical reaction of iron salt. This type of battery belongs to the class of redox-flow batteries (RFB), which are alternative solutions to Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) for stationary applications.
Combined with high reliability, high performance and low cost, the all-iron flow battery demonstrated a very promising prospect for LDES. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
