    Abstract: A flow battery includes: a cell including a first chamber and a second chamber a first liquid that contains a charge mediator and a discharge mediator, and that is located in the first chamber of the cell; a first electrode located in the first chamber of the cell; a first active material that is solid and that is located in the first chamber of the cell; a second liquid located in the second chamber of the cell; a second electrode that is located in the second chamber of the cell, and that is a counter electrode to the first electrode; and a first stirrer that stirs the first liquid in the first chamber. The charge mediator has a lower equilibrium potential than an equilibrium potential of the first active material. The discharge mediator has a higher equilibrium potential than the equilibrium potential of the first active material.

    Abstract: The lithium secondary battery of the present invention satisfies at least one requirement selected from the group consisting of requirements (i) and (ii). (i) An electrolyte liquid includes an anode mediator which is dissolved along with lithium in a solvent of the electrolyte liquid to give, to the electrolyte liquid, an equilibrium potential which is not more than an upper limit potential at which a compound of lithium and an anode active material is formed, and does not include a compound which is dissolved along with lithium in the solvent of the electrolyte liquid to give, to the electrolyte liquid, an equilibrium potential which is more than the upper limit potential. (ii) The electrolyte liquid only includes, as the anode mediator, only a compound which is dissolved along with lithium in the solvent of the electrolyte liquid to give, to the electrolyte liquid, the equilibrium potential which is not more than the upper limit potential at which the compound of lithium and the anode active material is formed.
