Description
Uxua Jimenez-Blasco and co-authors reviewed chemicals that trap bromine in zinc-bromine flow batteries in a 2023 paper. Flow batteries store energy in liquid tanks, so size and power scale apart, a prized trait for clean energy storage. The zinc-bromine type is cheap and its materials are plentiful.
Charging frees bromine, which corrodes parts and is toxic, so trapping agents bind it into complexes. The review lists the agents tried so far and compares how each behaves in the battery fluid. It also lines up the charge and energy efficiency each agent achieved. The authors aim to guide the pick of safer, stronger trapping agents for future designs. Better trapping, they note, is a gate to wider use of this battery family.
