Flow Batteries

Stage of development / applications

  • Emerging technology with a variety of chemistries emerging
  • Grid storage.

Components

  • Zinc bromine (Zn-Br2)
    • Hydrochloric acid, Zinc bromine organic additives, plastics, carbons
  • Zinc iron redox flow
    • Zinc, iron, electrolyte
  • Vanadium flow
    • Vanadium, sulphuric acid, plastics, carbons

Manufacturers

  • Zinc bromine (Zn-Br2)
    • RedFlow (Australia)
  • Zinc iron redox flow
    • ViZn
  • Vanadium flow
    • Prudent Energy
    • Imergy Power Systems

Recyclability

  • Zinc bromine (Zn-Br2)
    • Recycling not currently available but should be relatively simple (similar to ULAB)
    • Zinc bromine, plastics & acid could be recyclable.
  • Zinc iron redox flow
    • Potentially recyclable
  • Vanadium flow
    • As above – could recover vanadium, acid, plastics
