6 FAQs about [Self-discharge of zinc-bromine flow battery]
Are zinc-bromine flow batteries self-discharge?
Although the diffusion is alleviated in flow batteries by the combination of the ion-selective membranes and the bromine complexing agents (such as MEPBr), the zinc-bromine flow batteries are still plagued by self-discharge and low coulombic efficiency (Biswas et al., 2017).
Can a zinc-bromine static (non-flow) battery work without auxiliary parts?
This work demonstrates a zinc-bromine static (non-flow) battery without these auxiliary parts and utilizing glass fiber separator, which overcomes the high self-discharge rate and low energy efficiency while the advantages of the zinc-bromine chemistry are well preserved.

The non-flow zinc-bromine battery with regular porous glass fiber separator is particularly prone to low coulombic efficiency, as shown by the blank electrolyte (Figure 1 A). This is due to the serious cross-diffusion of the highly soluble Br 2 /Br 3- species, which results in direct redox reaction with the zinc anode.
