relatively low open circuit potential (OCP), between 0.90 and 1.20 V with 19.1 WhL- 1, and designers must endure crossover of iron to the chromium stream and vice versa. Some Japanese companies built similar batteries by licensing the NASA patents, but have not shown improvement in the low output voltage and efficiency13. 2.6.1.2 Bromine/polysulfide The bromine/polysulfide RFB was patented by Remick then extensively studied by Regenesys Technology94 from 1993 until 2006 when it was acquired by VRB Power Systems. To date, three series of bromine/polysulfide RFB systems have been developed, including 5, 20 and 100 kW class systems. A commercial size 15 MW system was successfully demonstrated. This plant used up to 120 modules, and 200 bipolar electrodes with and energy storage capacity up to 12 MWh and two 1800 m3 electrolyte storage tanks95. In the bromine/polysulfide system, the positive electrolyte is sodium bromide, and the negative electrolyte is sodium polysulfide, though, the counter ion could be replaced with another cation. The key attributes of this system are that species that comprise the two electrolytes are abundant and reasonably inexpensive. Moreover, they are highly soluble in aqueous electrolytes, which reduce the volume of electrolyte that is required to store a given quantity of charge. At the positive electrode three bromide ions combine to form the tribromide ion. (2.3) At the negative electrode, the sulfur in solution is shuttled between polysulfide and sulfide (2.4) In this system with a cell voltage of 1.54 V, all of the electroactive species are anions, so a cation-exchange membrane is needed to prevent mixing of the anolyte and catholyte streams. Charge is carried via sodium ions through the membrane. When activated carbon/polyolefin composite electrodes were used in this system, the voltage increased from 1.7 to 2.1 V (20-30 WhL-1) during charging process due to adsorption of bromine in the activated carbon96. This system is prone to crossover and mixing of the electrolytes, can lead to the precipitation of sulfur species and the formation of H2S and Br2. 27
