Redox flow battery with improved efficiency
Abstract
A method for a redox flow battery includes using a cell of a redox flow battery to store electrical energy and discharge the stored electrical energy. The using includes circulating a first electrolyte solution through a first circulation loop in fluid connection with the first electrode of the cell; circulating a second electrolyte solution through a second circulation loop in fluid connection with the second electrode of the cell; and at least one of a first element from the first electrolyte solution in the first electrode permeates through the separator layer and precipitates as a first solid product in the second electrode and a second element from the second electrolyte solution permeates through the separator layer and precipitates a second solid product in the first electrode. The method also includes removing at least a portion of the first solid product or the second solid product from the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively.
