摘要: The present invention relates to a redox flow battery, and more particularly, to a redox flow battery which is charged and discharged by supplying a positive electrolyte and a negative electrolyte to a battery cell using an active material containing vanadium and a cation exchange membrane, in which the positive electrolyte and the negative electrolyte contain vanadium ions as active ions, the difference in volume between the positive electrolyte and the negative electrolyte is maintained at 10% or less, and the total concentration of anions in the negative electrolyte is higher than the total concentration of anions in the positive electrolyte, whereby the transfer of water in the battery is controlled and a change in the volume of the electrolytes is minimized.

摘要: The invention provides an electrochemical cell based on a new chemistry for a flow battery for large scale, e.g., gridscale, electrical energy storage. Electrical energy is stored chemically at an electrochemical electrode by the protonation of small organic molecules called quinones to hydroquinones. The proton is provided by a complementary electrochemical reaction at the other electrode. These reactions are reversed to deliver electrical energy. A flow battery based on this concept can operate as a closed system. The flow battery architecture has scaling advantages over solid electrode batteries for large scale energy storage.

摘要: A vanadium redox flow battery employs a single electrolyte as a starting material to be placed in equal amounts in the positive and negative electrolyte storage tanks for supporting electrolytes containing zinc and chloride ions. A supporting solution includes chloride ions and zinc ions, and a half-cell solution including vanadium ions based on an aggregate oxidation state around +3.5 is disposed in the supporting solution to form the electrolyte solution for the redox flow battery. With HCl as a supporting electrolyte, as an alternative to conventional sulfuric acid, the use of zinc provides multiple benefits in the preparation of vanadium-based electrolytes.

摘要: A method for improving the efficiency and durability of reversible solid oxide cells during electrical energy storage is disclosed. The method utilizes a specific set of operating conditions that produces a storage chemistry where approximately thermal-neutral operation can be achieved at low cell over-potentials. Also disclosed are reversible solid oxide cell energy storage system configurations, including one that utilizes storage in natural gas and water storage/distribution networks, thereby reducing storage cost.

摘要: Electrolyte solutions for flow batteries and other electrochemical systems can contain an active material capable of transferring more than one electron per oxidation-reduction cycle. Such active materials can include coordination compounds containing a metal center and at least one redox non-innocent ligand. Accordingly, flow batteries can include a first half-cell having a first electrolyte solution therein, where the first electrolyte solution contains a coordination compound having at least one redox non-innocent ligand coordinated to a metal center. Particular redox non-innocent ligands can include those bearing a quinone functional group, such as substituted catecholates bearing a quinone functional group. Some active materials can include compositions containing a coordination compound having at least one redox non-innocent ligand coordinated to a metal center, where the at least one redox non-innocent ligand is a substituted catecholate or a salt thereof bearing a quinone functional group.

摘要: An electrode plate, method for manufacturing an electrode plate, and method of testing an electrode plate enable efficient production of robust flowing electrolyte batteries. The method of testing an electrode plate includes forming a frangible portion in the electrode plate; providing a seal around a periphery of the electrode plate, wherein the periphery extends across the frangible portion; applying a gas adjacent a surface on a first side of the electrode plate; and detecting whether there is a presence of the gas adjacent a surface on a second side of the electrode plate, if the electrode plate passes testing, the frangible portion is removed from the electrode plate to define a cut-away region. The electrode plate is then positioned in a battery cell stack including a plurality of other electrode plates. A manifold is then attached to the cell stack adjacent the cut-away region of the electrode plate.
