A schematic of the principle of operation of this system is shown in Figure 1. The redox chemistry of the iron-chloride redox flow battery is based on the iron (II) chloride/iron (III) chloride couple at the positive electrode and the iron (II) chloride/metallic iron couple at the negative electrode.
The development and large-scale commercialization of such an iron-chloride flow battery technology has been hindered hitherto by low charging efficiency resulting from parasitic hydrogen evolution at the negative electrode and high overpotential losses.
Such corrosion of iron in acidic media accompanied by the hydrogen evolution reaction is well known. 24 Further, during charging of the iron-chloride redox flow battery, the electro-deposition of iron presents substantial overpotential thereby facilitating the hydrogen evolution reaction further.
The setup of IRFBs is based on the same general setup as other redox-flow battery types. It consists of two tanks, which in the uncharged state store electrolytes of dissolved iron (II) ions. The electrolyte is pumped into the battery cell which consists of two separated half-cells.
Capabilities and limitations Our iron battery has sufficient capabilities for practical use in low power devices and projects. The cell’s internal resistance is high, and so the discharge rate is limited.
