Zinc–Bromine Redox Flow Battery
Application ID: 103271
The zinc bromine redox flow battery is an electrochemical energy storage technology suitable for stationary applications.
Compared to other flow battery chemistries, the Zn-Br cell potentially features lower cost, higher energy densities and better energy efficiencies.
In the cell during charge, zinc metal is deposited on the negative electrode, whereas bromine is produced on the positive electrode.
This tutorial models the cell voltage, as well as the bromine and zinc production, during a charge-discharge cycle
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® et
- soit le Module Battery Design, Module Corrosion, Module Electrochemistry, Module Electrodeposition, ou Module Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license.
