Abstract

We describe a ZnBr2 single cell which has a highly modular symmetrical structure. With designed polyethylene shell frames, membrane frame and composite titanium-carbon felt electrodes, it has a higher energy density and is more flexible compared with traditional flow batteries. We repeatedly tested its performance, which showed good tightness, high reliability and a high energy efficiency of 75%. Due to the special symmetrical structure and modular design, it is easy to assemble and disassemble, which makes it suitable as a test platform for electrodes, membranes and electrolyte performance testing. The designed modular flow cell has low cost and high energy density, and can provide good guidance for flow battery research.
Keywords: composite electrodes; energy density; flow battery; flexibility; membrane frame; zinc bromide composite electrodes; energy density; flow battery; flexibility; membrane frame; zinc bromide
