The introduction of channels improves the spatial distribution uniformity of electrolyte and accelerates the fluid velocity in electrodes, and thus reduces the polarization and increases the rate capacity of RFBs . The comparison of flow batteries with novel flow field patterns and classic low fields is summarized in Table 2.
Geometric parameters of flow fields play a crucial role in deciding the battery performance by directly influencing the mass transport process and flow resistance. It is worth noting that adjusting the parameters usually affects the electrochemical performance and hydraulic performance inversely.
Flow fields are a crucial component of redox flow batteries (RFBs). Conventional flow fields, designed by trial-and-error approaches and limited human intuition, are difficult to optimize, thus limiting the performance of RFBs.
For example, Aaron and Mench et al. adopted a zero-gap flow field (flow-by structure) with carbon paper electrodes, enabling the dramatic improvement of battery performance due to the significantly reduced ohmic loss, whose area resistance is measured to be only 0.5 Ω cm 2, as compared to 3.5 Ω cm 2 with flow-through configurations .
In cells with interdigitated flow fields, the increase in the number of channels results in uneven distribution of electrolyte into branch channels, which consequently leads to higher mass transport polarization. To enhance battery performance while minimizing pressure drop, several new flow field patterns have been proposed recently.
Serpentine and interdigitated flow fields are the most frequently studied and compared designs. It is found that the overall battery performance heavily depends on the balance between the electrochemical polarizations and pumping work . More significantly, there exist many issues when scaling up the flow cell toward the stack-scale batteries.
