Due to flooding and catalyst poisoning, the stability of the air electrode is also not yet sufficient for use as a stationary storage device in the context of regeneratively generated energy. The scientists at Fraunhofer UMSICHT want to change this. Their goal is an iron-air battery with improved energy density and higher efficiency.
A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
New iron batteries could help. Flow batteries made from iron, salt, and water promise a nontoxic way to store enough clean energy to use when the sun isn’t shining. One of the first things you see when you visit the headquarters of ESS in Wilsonville, Oregon, is an experimental battery module about the size of a toaster.
Then let us talk about the potential of iron-air battery stacks. An iron-air battery stack is designed to act as a stationary energy storage system to compensate for fluctuating power generation.
Iron flow battery-based storage solutions are a non-flammable, non-explosive, high power density, and cost-effective energy storage solution. They have recently made a historical breakthrough in addressing some of the disadvantages of lithium-ion battery solutions.
The iron “flow batteries” ESS is building are just one of several energy storage technologies that are suddenly in demand, thanks to the push to decarbonize the electricity sector and stabilize the climate.
Iron Flow Battery technology and its role in Energy Storage
In essence, iron flow batteries are electrochemical cells where an electrolyte stored in externals storage tanks acts as an energy source. The flow pumps transfer the electrolytes to electrodes, extracting electrons and providing energy to the grid.
