Abstract: A redox flow battery system includes a redox flow battery cell, a first circulation mechanism, and a second circulation mechanism. The redox flow battery cell includes a positive electrode chamber housing a positive electrode, a negative electrode chamber housing a negative electrode, and a separator separating the positive electrode chamber and the negative electrode chamber. The first circulation mechanism and the second circulation mechanisms circulate electrolytic solutions into the positive electrode chamber and the negative electrode chamber, respectively. The separator is a porous body. Each of the electrolytic solutions contains an active material and a mediator that has a diameter larger than pore distribution d50 of the separator.

Abstract: A redox flow battery includes a positive-side electrode tank that stores an electrolytic solution to be circulated to a positive electrode chamber in which a positive electrode is accommodated; and a negative-side electrode tank that stores an electrolytic solution to be circulated to a negative electrode chamber in which a negative electrode is accommodated. Each electrolytic solution contains an active material and a mediator, and the active material is solid in each electrolytic solution. An electrolyte concentration in each electrolytic solution is adjusted such that a potential difference between an equilibrium potential of the active material and an equilibrium potential of the mediator is equal to or less than a predetermined potential difference.
