Abstract
Large-scale, long-duration energy storage systems are crucial to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. Among the various existing energy storage technologies, redox flow batteries have the potential to store a significant amount of energy. In the redox flow battery system, the above-ground electrolyte storage tanks are usually bulky and expensive. Underground salt caverns, which have a space of hundred-thousand cubic meters, are being explored as potential alternatives to conventional electrolyte tanks for storing electrolytes. The salt caverns possess high safety, large storage capacity, constant temperature, and low cost, making salt cavern redox flow batteries promising next-generation energy storage systems in the era of carbon neutrality. This study reviews the fundamental concepts and research progress of salt cavern redox flow batteries and explores recently proposed organic active substances under near-neutral pH conditions. Prospects of salt cavern redox flow batteries are summarized and analyzed.
期刊介绍:
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
