Abstract: Cerium-Zinc redox flow battery has a significant high voltage compared with other redox flow batteries. The potential utilization of cerium-zinc redox flow battery is most likely to occur in energy storage system due to the abundant resources of raw materials and cost-efficient products. This review summarized the recent research and development of cerium-zinc flow batteries, especially for electrolytes of batteries, and analyzes further development prospective of ceriumzinc flow batteries.

Key words: Cerium-Zinc flow battery, electrolytes, electrode materials, research development.
