    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: 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: 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.
