This review provides a comprehensive overview of iron-based ARFBs, categorizing them into dissolution-deposition and all-soluble flow battery systems. . Recently, aqueous zinc–iron redox flow batteries have received great interest due to their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, non-toxicity, and abundance. However, the development of zinc–iron redox flow batteries (RFBs) remains challenging due to severe inherent difficulties such as zinc. . Zinc–iron redox flow batteries (ZIRFBs) possess intrinsic safety and stability and have been the research focus of electrochemical energy storage technology due to their low electrolyte cost. However, the advancement of various types of iron-based ARFBs is hindered by several critical challenges. .
