A Newly Designed Modular ZnBr2 Single Cell Structure
Source abstract
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.
