Flow and non-flow configuration share the same electrochemistry. At the negative electrode zinc is the electroactive species. It is electropositive, with a standard reduction potential E° = −0.76 V vs SHE. The negative electrode reaction is the reversible dissolution/plating of zinc: At the positive electrode bromine is reversibly reduced to bromide (with a standard reduction potent
