Can chelated chromium complexes improve the energy density of flow batteries?

Electrolytes containing multiple redox couples are promising for improving the energy density of flow batteries. Here, two chelated chromium complexes that are structural isomers are characterized and combined to generate electrolytes containing up to 2 M of active species, corresponding to 53.6 Ah L −1.

How to improve the performance of iron chromium flow battery (icfb)?

Iron–chromium flow battery (ICFB) is one of the most promising technologies for energy storage systems, while the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during the negative process remains a critical issue for the long-term operation. To solve this issue, In³⁺ is firstly used as the additive to improve the stability and performance of ICFB.

Are iron chromium flow batteries cost-effective?

The current density of current iron–chromium flow batteries is relatively low, and the system output efficiency is about 70–75 %. Current developers are working on reducing cost and enhancing reliability, thus ICRFB systems have the potential to be very cost-effective at the MW-MWh scale.

What are the advantages of iron chromium redox flow battery (icrfb)?

Its advantages include long cycle life, modular design, and high safety [7, 8]. The iron-chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB) is a type of redox flow battery that uses the redox reaction between iron and chromium to store and release energy . ICRFBs use relatively inexpensive materials (iron and chromium) to reduce system costs .

Does chromium react with a negative electrolyte?

During the charging process, the negative electrode has a side reaction: hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), while a part of Cr 3+ cannot be reduced [29, 30]. However, Fe 2+ in the positive electrolyte can react completely. When the molar ratio of iron to chromium is 1:1, the active substances of the positive and negative reactions do not match.

What is the molar ratio of iron to chromium?

At a current density of 80 mA cm -2, Wu et al. found that the battery's energy efficiency and electrochemical activity of negative active ions were highest when the molar ratio of iron to chromium is 1:1.3. Wang et al. optimized the electrolyte of ICRFB.
