Development Of An Advanced Zinc Air Flow Battery System (Phase 2), Jingyu Si

Theses and Dissertations

A zinc-air battery is the promising energy storage technology for large-scale energy storage applications due to its low cost, environmental friendliness, and high energy density. However, the electrically rechargeable zinc−air batteries suffer from poor energy efficiency and cycle life because of critical problems such as passivation, dendrite growth, and hydrogen evolution reaction. The proliferation of zinc−air batteries is limited.

The zinc-air flow battery combines the advantages of both a zinc-air battery and a redox flow battery. This combination permits the zinc-air flow battery to compete with the current leading battery technologies in the marketplace. A rechargeable Zn-air flow battery with …
