Are neutral zinc–iron flow batteries a good choice?
Neutral zinc–iron flow batteries (ZIFBs) remain attractive due to features of low cost, abundant reserves, and mild operating medium. However, the ZIFBs based on Fe (CN) 63– /Fe (CN) 64– catholyte suffer from Zn 2 Fe (CN) 6 precipitation due to the Zn 2+ crossover from the anolyte.

Can zinc-iron flow batteries be used in mildly acidic chloride electrolytes?
Soc. 164 A1069 DOI 10./2.0591706jes The feasibility of zinc-iron flow batteries using mixed metal ions in mildly acidic chloride electrolytes was investigated. Iron electrodeposition is strongly inhibited in the presence of Zn 2+ and so the deposition and stripping processes at the negative electrode approximate those of normal zinc electrodes.
What are low-cost zinc-iron flow batteries?

Can a zinc-based flow battery be made from mixed electrolytes?
Since zinc-based flow batteries often charge at 10–50 mA cm −2, 2 this result suggested that zinc-rich deposits can be made (viz., the ACD process can be utilized) from mixed electrolytes at useful current densities in flow battery applications.
