Alkaline all-iron flow batteries (AIFBs) are highly attractive for large-scale and long-term energy storage due to the abundant availability of raw materials, low cost, inherent safety, and decoupling of capacity and power. However, a stable iron anolyte is still being explored to address complex decomposition, ligand crossover, and energy density to improve battery performance. Herein,
Ultimately, a complete iron flow battery system was constructed by combining this electrolyte with a deep eutectic positive electrolyte. In the 360-hour cycle charge–discharge experiments, an average coulombic efficiency of over 98 % was achieved. Notably, the coulombic efficiency in the first 66 cycles approached 100 %, and the average energy efficiency was also
Hybrid flow batteries normally involved a plating-stripping process in anode such as plating of zinc, tin or iron. For instance, all-iron hybrid flow battery, first reported in 1981, employed Fe 2+ /Fe (−0.44 V vs. SHE) and Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ (+0.77 V vs. SHE) as negative and positive redox pairs, respectively [13], has attracted increasing attention on account of its low

The formal rise of the AIMBBs began with the nickel-iron alkaline batteries invented by Edison in 1901. Subsequently, iron-air batteries and iron redox flow batteries developed in succession [14]. But the research of AIMBBs seems interrupted after 1980 since the lead-acid batteries and the Li-ion batteries emerging. Nevertheless, renewed
Acidic tin–iron flow batteries (TIFBs) employing Sn/Sn2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ as active materials are regarded as promising energy storage devices due to their superior low capital cost, long lifecycle, and high system reliability. In this paper, the performance of TIFBs is thoroughly investigated via a proposed dynamic model. Moreover

Therefore, the most promising and cost-effective flow battery systems are still the iron-based aqueous RFBs (IBA-RFBs). This review manifests the potential use of IBA-RFBs for large-scale energy storage applications by a comprehensive summary of the latest research progress and performance metrics in the past few years.
Alkaline flow batteries are attracting increasing attention for stationary energy storage. Very promising candidates have been proposed as active species for the negative compartment, while potassium ferrocyanide (K4Fe(CN)6) has been the only choice for the positive one. The energy density of this family of batteries is limited by the low solubility of K4Fe(CN)6
However, in an acidic zinc-iron redox flow battery (ZIRFB), the acidity of the solution will cause the corrosion of zinc, the hydrolysis of the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+, and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER).
3.7. Tin-iron redox flow battery As a widely used metal in the food industry, tin possesses high hydrogen overpotential (−0.13 V vs. SHE), fast kinetics, and low toxicity [90, 91]. Consequently, tin may be an ideal anode material for RFB.
The first iron-based flow battery was proposed in the 70s of the 20th century, with Fe (III)/Fe (II) and Cr (III)/Cr (II) serving as the positive and negative active components, respectively and HCl as the supporting electrolyte, which exhibited the battery voltage of 1.18 V.
In 1974, L.H. Thaller a rechargeable flow battery model based on Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ and Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ redox couples, and based on this, the concept of “redox flow battery” was proposed for the first time . The “Iron–Chromium system” has become the most widely studied electrochemical system in the early stage of RFB for energy storage.
In addition, the redox couple of FeCl 3 /FeCl 2, which was employed in various RFB, can be very attractive in terms of the cathode as a result of its fast kinetics and low cost [69, 82, 91, 92]. Zhou et al. proposed a tin-iron RFB (TIRFB) in which the FeCl 3 /FeCl 2 catholyte is separated from the stannous chloride anolyte .
The flow battery is mainly composed of two parts: an energy system and a power system. In a flow battery, the energy is provided by the electrolyte in external vessels and is decoupled from the power.
