Bromine-based flow batteries (Br-FBs) have been widely used for stationary energy storage benefiting from their high positive potential, high solubility and low cost. However, they are still confronted with serious challenges including bromine cross-diffusion, sluggish reaction kinetics of Br2 /Br − redox couple and sometimes dendrites.
High reliability: the safety hazard of Br-FBs mainly results from the volatility and corrosiveness of bromine molecules. This issue can be overcome by adding complexing agents into electrolytes and optimizing the battery system. In addition, the battery components with high stability will not be corroded during the long-term operation [10, 11].
