Reversible two-electron redox conversion enabled by an activated electrode and stabilized inter-halogen electrolyte for high performance zinc–iodine flow batteries † Iodine-based flow batteries have been considered as a promising energy storage device for large-scale energy storage.
In practical applications, the conventional method for loading active materials in batteries is mixing and coating. However, due to the low sublimation temperature of iodine, the active material in zinc–iodine batteries can benefit from a substrate designed during the loading process, enabling mass production of zinc–iodine batteries.
For example, in flow batteries, the generated I 2 needs to be converted into a highly soluble I 3- to avoid the deposition of elemental iodine on the electrode surface and block the electrolyte transport pathway, but in static batteries, the positive electrodes generally have strong adsorption to confine iodine to avoid shuttle effect.
Zinc-iodine flow batteries have attracted huge attention for distributed energy storage devices owing to high inherent safety, suitable redox potential, and superior solubility.
In zinc–iodine batteries, due to the multiple valence states of iodine, high-valent iodine redox reactions occur during the conversion of iodine at the cathode, resulting in high specific capacity and high voltage due to multi-electron transfer. This is a unique mechanism not found in other aqueous zinc-ion batteries.
Compared with the conventional zinc–iodine flow battery with 6 M KI electrolytes (61.06 Ah L −1, 61.28 W h L −1), the designed zinc–iodine flow battery using 2.6 M KI + MgCl 2 electrolyte exhibits a high capacity of 110.56 Ah L −1 at 100 mA cm −2, while a high energy density of 132.25 W h L −1 is also realized.
