The iron‐chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB) is considered the first true RFB and utilizes low‐cost, abundant iron and chromium chlorides as redox‐active materials, making it one of the most cost‐effective energy storage systems. ICRFBs were pioneered and studied extensively by NASA and Mitsui in Ja...
