This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of recent progress in electrolyte technologies, highlighting improvements in electrochemical performance, stability, and durability, as well as strategies to enhance the energy and power densities of RFBs. . 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 are interesting energy storage devices that can be designed. . Soluble Lead Flow Batteries (SLFBs) are an emerging class of redox flow batteries that combine the well-established lead–acid chemistry with a flow-based architecture. In SLFBs, energy is stored and released through the reversible electrodeposition and dissolution of lead (Pb) and lead.
