circuit to the positively charged cathode. At the same time, positively charged ions from the anolyte pass through a separating membrane to the catholyte. In this way, potential chemical energy is converted to electrical energy and the electrolytes are dis- charged. To recharge the electrolytes, a potential greater than the open circuit voltage is applied across the electrodes and the chemical reactions are reversed. Figure 1.1: Electrochemical schematic of a redox flow battery (from Weber, 2011). 1.2 Flow Battery Characteristics The voltage of a redox flow cell is determined by the choice of redox couples. The maximum electrical current is determined, in part, by the cell’s active area. One of the main advantages of flow batteries over solid-state batteries is the ability to independently design power output and energy capacity [2]. In a flow battery, the energy capacity is determined by the volume of electrolyte which is stored external to the cell. The power output is proportional to the cell’s active area. A disadvantage of flow batteries is their low energy density due to solubility limits. Although there are many possible choices of ionic species, most of them suffer from low electrolyte 2
