By exploring innovative electrode designs and functional enhancements, this review seeks to advance the conceptualization and practical application of 3D electrodes to optimize RFB performance for large-scale energy storage solutions. Introduction. Redox flow batteries (RFBs) have emerged as a promising solution for large-scale energy storage due to their inherent advantages, including modularity, scalability, and the decoupling of energy capacity from power output.

Flow batteries (FBs) are a type of batteries that generate electricity by a redox reaction between metal ions such as vanadium ions dissolved in the electrolytes (Blanc et al. [5] The battery uses vanadium's ability to exist in a solution in four different oxidation. . The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is one promising candidate in large-scale stationary energy storage system, which stores electric energy by changing the oxidation numbers of anolyte and catholyte through redox reaction. This stored energy is used as power in technological applications. Various metal oxide catalysts have been utilized to enhance the electrode reaction kinetics in vanadium redox flow battery. .

Membrane-free or membraneless redox flow batteries are a promising class of systems that overcome the drawbacks associated with the use of membranes. They replace the use of the ion-selective membrane with the native liquid–liquid interface of immiscible/biphasic electrolytes. However, their widespread adoption is hindered by the high costs of ion-selective membranes and vanadium-based electrolytes currently used in commercial vanadium. . While Li-ion batteries remain the mainstream solution for short-duration, high-density applications, their use in grid-scale storage introduces critical safety concerns. Leveraging the redox pair 10- [2- (2-methoxy ethoxy)ethyl]-10H-phenothiazine and. . Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are an emerging class of large-scale energy storage devices, yet the commercial benchmark—vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs)—is highly constrained by a modest open-circuit potential (1. 26 V) while posing an expensive and volatile material procurement costs.
