Aqueous all‐iron flow batteries (AIFBs) are attractive for large‐scale and long‐term energy storage due to their extremely low cost and safety features. To accelerate commercial application, a long cyclable and reversible iron anolyte is expected to address the critical barriers, namely iron dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report a robust iron complex with triethanolamine (TEA) and 2‐methylimidazole (MM) double ligands. By introducing two ligands into one iron center, the binding energy of the complex increases, making it more stable in the charge‐discharge reactions. The Fe(TEA)MM complex achieves reversible and stable redox between Fe3+ and Fe2+, without metallic iron growth and HER. AIFBs based on this anolyte perform a high energy efficiency of 80.5 % at 80 mA cm−2 and exhibit a record durability among reported AIFBs. The efficiency and capacity retain nearly 100 % after 1,400 cycles. The capital cost of this AIFB is $ 33.2 kWh−1 (e.g. 20 h duration), cheaper than Li‐ion battery and vanadium flow battery. This double‐ligand chelating strategy not only solves the current problems faced by AIFBs, but also provides an insight for further improving the cycling stability of other flow batteries.
