The rechargeable iron-air battery is formed by the reduction and evolution of oxygen at a catalyst-coated inert positive electrode and the negative iron electrode. However, enhancing battery performance requires tackling challenges like energy efficiency, low-cost metal electrodes, additive manufacturing processes, and mathematical modeling.
By developing iron-air batteries, we hope to provide a cost-effective, sustainable solution for grid storage. This technology could alleviate geopolitical and geoeconomic issues related to the concentration of lithium and other critical metals, fostering energy storage independence especially for developing countries.
For the particular case of the iron-air battery a theoretical energy density of 764 W h kg-1 in combination with the abundance, low cost, eco-friendliness, recyclability, non-toxicity of the materials, and the possibility to work as a secondary battery makes this electrochemical system appealing to develop [1].

With no heavy or rare-earth metals and approximately 80% of all components sourced domestically from within the United States, Form''s battery provides a sustainable solution to
An iron-air battery prototype developed by MIT spinout Form Energy could usher in a "sort of tipping point for green energy: reliable power from renewable sources at less than $20 per kilowatt hour," says Washington Post columnist David Von Drehle.
"Just iron, air, and water." Scientists call it reversible rusting. While discharging, the battery takes in oxygen and converts iron to rust. Applying an electrical current converts the rusty pellets back to iron, and the battery
"Just iron, air, and water." Scientists call it reversible rusting. While discharging, the battery takes in oxygen and converts iron to rust. Applying an electrical current converts the rusty pellets back to iron, and the battery "breathes out" oxygen as it charges.

Iron-Air Batteries Are Here. They May Alter the Future of Energy. Battery tech is now entering the Iron Age. Iron-air batteries could solve some of lithium ’s shortcomings related to energy storage. Form Energy is building a new iron-air battery facility in West Virginia. NASA experimented with iron-air batteries in the 1960s.
The rechargeable iron-air battery is formed by the reduction and evolution of oxygen at a catalyst-coated inert positive electrode and the negative iron electrode. However, enhancing battery performance requires tackling challenges like energy efficiency, low-cost metal electrodes, additive manufacturing processes, and mathematical modeling.
As well, Iron-air batteries are also appealing because, unlike zinc batteries, they are less prone to dendrite formation. The rechargeable iron-air battery is formed by the reduction and evolution of oxygen at a catalyst-coated inert positive electrode and the negative iron electrode.
The operation belongs to Form Energy, a company seeking to develop the world’s first commercially available iron-air batteries. Yes, regular-old iron and air. Humans have known for millennia that when water, oxygen, and iron mix, they create rust. We’ve learned more recently that that reaction also releases energy.
The latest contribution is the largest battery in the Czech Republic with an output of 10 MW, which is being built under the supervision of ČEZ ESCO on the premises of Energocentrum Vítkovice and will be fully operational in the second half of this year.
For one, iron-air batteries solve a few of lithium’s biggest shortcomings right off the bat. As their name suggests, these batteries use primarily iron, the fourth most abundant element on Earth, and well air.
