This is Bing. I searched the web for your question and here is a brief answer:

Zinc dendrite formation is a major challenge for zinc-based flow batteries, as it can cause low efficiency, capacity decay, and short circuits. To prevent or reduce zinc dendrite growth, various strategies have been proposed, such as:

• Electrolyte modification: adding organic molecules, polymers, or metal ions to the electrolyte to change its viscosity, conductivity, or nucleation potential¹.
• Anode engineering: using different materials, coatings, or structures for the anode to improve its surface morphology, wettability, or electrocatalytic activity¹.
• Electric field regulation: applying alternating current, pulse current, or magnetic field to the anode to disrupt the dendritic growth or dissolve the existing dendrites¹.
• Zinc ion transfer control: using membranes, separators, or additives to regulate the transport and diffusion of zinc ions in the electrolyte¹.
