For large-scale energy storage systems, the energy efficiency, cycle life, and capital cost are major considerations for commercialization. A comprehensive comparison, including the charge–discharge tests, cycle tests and the capital cost analyses, was carried out for the VRFB and ICRFB.
Since conductivity is determined by the transfer rate of ions in the electrolyte, low conductivity will increase the ohmic resistance of the battery and affect the energy efficiency of the battery.
By offering insights into these emerging directions, this review aims to support the continued research and development of iron-based flow batteries for large-scale energy storage applications.
Over 100 cycles, the system maintained a coulombic efficiency (CE) of 98.7%, voltage efficiency of 84.5%, and the energy efficiency (EE) of 83.4% at a current density of 10 mA cm -2. Where is electrical energy stored in a battery system?

Flow batteries are promising for large-scale energy storage in intermittent renewable energy technologies. While the iron–chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB) is a low-cost flow battery, it has a lower storage capacity and a higher capacity decay rate than the all-vanadium RFB.
The electrolyte in the flow battery is the carrier of energy storage, however, there are few studies on electrolyte for iron-chromium redox flow batteries (ICRFB). The low utilization rate and rapid capacity decay of ICRFB electrolyte have always been a challenging problem.
Its advantages include long cycle life, modular design, and high safety [7, 8]. The iron-chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB) is a type of redox flow battery that uses the redox reaction between iron and chromium to store and release energy . ICRFBs use relatively inexpensive materials (iron and chromium) to reduce system costs .
A key component to assessing the theoretical energy storage density of a redox flow battery is Eeq,cell, which changes as a function of a battery's state of charge (Qsoc). which is the difference between the positive, Eeq,+, and negative, Eeq,−, half-reaction electrode potentials vs the standard hydrogen electrode.
Thus, the cost-effective aqueous iron-based flow batteries hold the greatest potential for large-scale energy storage application.
Another attractive flow battery chemistry for grid-scale energy storage is the all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). 39, 44, 45 The electrochemical diagram for the VRFB is as follows:
An ongoing question associated with these two RFBs is determining whether the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) or iron-chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB) is more suitable and competitive for large-scale energy storage.
