Abstract
Zinc-iodide flow battery (ZIFB) is one of the best potential candidates for future grid-scale energy storage, due to its eye-catching features of benign, high energy density and non-corrosive nature. However major investigations have not done yet on the negative electrode of this battery where the Zn deposition/dissolution mechanism takes place, which may have an impact on the battery performance. Herein, we have reported a comparative study of different carbon-based anodes which are conventional graphite felt, carbon paper and graphite foil. Single-cell charge/discharge performances among these three different anodes depicts that the cell with planar, hydrophilic graphite foil anode is showing the best energy efficiency and the lowest cell resistance among the carbonaceous electrodes. Zinc dissolution process during discharge process seems to be the bottleneck for having a stable cell, which was corroborated by the use of a Zn foil anode that shows excellent efficiencies along the successive cycles.
