The zinc–bromine flow battery (ZBFB) is regarded as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale energy storage owing to its high energy density and low cost. However, because of the large internal resistance and poor electrocatalytic activity of graphite- or carbon-felt electrodes, conventional ZBFBs usually can only be operated at …
Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) is employed as supporting electrolyte for ZBFB. MSA improves the kinetics and reversibility of Zn 2+ /Zn and Br 2 /Br − reactions. MSA significantly reduces the battery''s internal resistance from 4.9 to 2.0 Ω cm 2. The battery exhibits an energy efficiency of 78% at 80 mA cm −2.
