预计固定应用的储能部署将在未来十年内增长，并且需要最大限度地减少材料需求的储能解决方案。可溶性铅氧化还原液流电池是一种处于设计早期阶段的液流电池，具有比其他液流电池解决方案更低的成本潜力。本研究首次提出了可溶性铅氧化还原液流电池的摇篮到门的生命周期评估。ReCiPe 2016方法用于评估1 kWh储能容量的18个中点影响类别。评估的环境影响类别与最先进的液流电池，钒氧化还原液流电池和其他市售固定电池进行了比较;锂离子电池，铅酸电池和钠离子电池。可溶性铅氧化还原液流电池组最显著的环境影响与电源子系统组件、不锈钢端板（电池组框架的关键组件）以及聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯双极和单极框架有关。尽管其技术未优化，但与其他固定存储应用相比，可溶性铅氧化还原液流电池的环境影响显示出有希望的结果，其表现出所有比较电池（包括锂离子电池、铅酸电池和钠离子电池）的材料资源消耗最低的一种。这在更高的能量功率比下甚至更明显。增加可溶性铅氧化还原液流电池的能量存储容量，以及优化电源子系统组件可以进一步改善可溶性铅氧化还原液流电池的环境性能。
Energy storage deployment for stationary applications is expected to grow in the next decade, and there is a requirement for storage solutions that minimise materials demand. Soluble lead redox flow battery is a type of flow battery in the early phase of design with the potential for a lower cost than other flow battery solutions. This study presents the first cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of the soluble lead redox flow battery. The ReCiPe2016 method was used to assess the 18 midpoint impact categories for 1 kWh of energy storage capacity. The assessed environmental impact categories were compared with the most advanced flow battery, the vanadium redox flow battery, and other commercially available stationary batteries; lithium-ion batteries, lead acid batteries, and sodium-ion batteries. The most significant environmental impacts of the soluble lead redox flow battery are associated with power subsystem components; stainless-steel end plates (a key component of the stack frame), and polymethyl methacrylate bipolar and monopolar frames. Despite their non-optimised technology, the environmental impacts of the soluble lead redox flow battery show promising results compared to other stationary storage applications exhibiting one of the lowest depletion of material resources of all compared batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, lead acid batteries, and sodium-ion batteries. This is even more evident at higher energy to power ratios. Increasing the energy storage capacity of the soluble lead redox flow battery, and the optimisation of power subsystem components can further improve the environmental performance of the soluble lead redox flow battery.
