commercialised, having almost 40 years of development [44]. In contrast, zinc-air and zinc- cerium RFBs continue under investigation, while zinc-nickel RFB has the potential to be developed into economic, undivided cells. Recent years have witnessed a diversity of new chemistries, such as zinc-iron or zinc-polyiodide. A summary of the typical performance of selected Zn-based is shown in Table 3. It is unfortunate that some authors have presented performance data without explicitly stating the state of charge of the cell or normalized electrolyte flow rates. High cell voltages are predicted for the divided and undivided Zn-Ce systems; the undivided cell has higher efficiencies but the surface area ratios of the positive and negative electrodes need tailoring to prevent self- discharge. Other cells using air, nickel, bromine or ferricyanide have been reported; although high-energy efficiencies can be achieved at low current densities, the efficiency falls of at a higher operational current density. In electrochemical flow reactors such as RFBs, there are complex relationships among their performance, electrode kinetics, electrolyte flow and operational conditions, as shown in Figure 3 and illustrated by examples in this review. In contrast to static batteries, where electrode and electrolyte composition are the main factors that determine cell potential and current, Zn-based RFBs are governed by flow regime, deposit uniformity and deposit stability. Electrode geometry and electrolyte additives to control the morphology of zinc deposits are critical to cycling life. Thermal management of RFBs of considerable size is also required and it is usually achieved by taking advantage of electrolyte flow through a heat exchanger. Figure 4 describes some of the most common Zn-based RFBs. All of them have Zn negative electrodes but different positive reactions, some of which take place via phase changes, e.g., at gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). Diverse separators are employed in view of the pH and 7PDF Image | hybrid redox flow batteries with zinc negative electrodes
