An aqueous alkaline zinc–sulfur flow battery

Abstract

We demonstrate a rechargeable aqueous alkaline zinc–sulfur flow battery that comprises environmental materials zinc and sulfur as negative and positive active species. Meanwhile, a nickel-based electrode is also obtained by a two-step process to decrease the polarization of the sulfur redox reaction, thus greatly improving the voltage efficiency of the system from 32% to 78% at 10 mA cm−2.
