Abstract

The effect of zinc utilization and the performance characteristics in a zinc–bromine redox flow cell is reported. Simultaneously changing the quality of the electrolyte and the electrode substrate material resulted in an increase in the surface coverage with randomly oriented crystallographic (101) planes and, as a result, the cell exhibited higher Faradaic efficiency.
