The history of zinc-based flow batteries is longer than that of the vanadium flow battery but has only a handful of demonstration systems. The currently available demo and application for zinc-based flow batteries are zinc-bromine flow batteries, alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries, and alkaline zinc-nickel flow batteries.
Among the above-mentioned flow batteries, the zinc-based flow batteries that leverage the plating-stripping process of the zinc redox couples in the anode are very promising for distributed energy storage because of their attractive features of high safety, high energy density, and low cost .
Aqueous zinc-based redox flow batteries are promising large-scale energy storage applications due to their low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the zinc dendritic growth has depressed the cycle performance, stability, and efficiency, hindering the commercialization of the zinc-based redox flow batteries.

Herein for the first time, we have reported the performance and characteristics of new high-voltage zinc–vanadium (Zn–V) metal hybrid redox flow battery using a zinc bromide (ZnBr 2)-based electrolyte. The Zn–V system showed an open-circuit voltage of 1.85 V, which is very close to that of zinc–bromine flow cell.
Therefore, the most promising systems remain vanadium and zinc-based flow batteries as well as novel aqueous flow batteries. Overall, the research of flow batteries should focus on improvements in power and energy density along with cost reductions.
