SummaryOverviewFeaturesTypesElectrochemistryApplicationsHistoryFurther reading
A zinc-bromine battery is a rechargeable battery system that uses the reaction between zinc metal and bromine to produce electric current, with an electrolyte composed of an aqueous solution of zinc bromide. Zinc has long been used as the negative electrode of primary cells. It is a widely available, relatively inexpensive metal. It is rather stable in contact with neutral and alkaline aqueous solutions. For this reason, it is used today in zinc–carbon and alkaline primaries.
Zinc-bromine batteries produce power by the formation of zinc and bromide ions at their respective electrodes. The process is aided by a microporous separator, reducing chemical reactions
Schematic illustration of Zn-Br battery''s key advantages, possible chemistries, challenges, and room for further improvement.
We here introduce a practical Zn-Br battery that harnesses the synergy effects of complexation chemistry in the electrode and the salting-out effect in the aqueous electrolyte.
