    摘要: The present invention provides a redox flow battery including an ion-exchange membrane, a liquid inflow layer, an electrode, and a current collector plate so as to be stacked in this order. The electrode includes a plurality of electrode pieces which are disposed in parallel in a plane direction, a liquid supply passage for supplying an electrolytic solution to the liquid inflow layer is provided between the adjacent electrode pieces, and the electrolytic solution passes through the electrode from an ion-exchange membrane side surface of the electrode to a current collector plate side surface.

    摘要: A redox flow battery comprising: a positive compartment containing a positive electrode in contact with a liquid electrolyte comprised of an organic redox active molecule dissolved in a solvent; a negative compartment containing a negative electrode in contact with a liquid electrolyte comprised of said organic redox active molecule dissolved in a solvent; electrical communication means for establishing electrical communication between said positive electrode, said negative electrode and an external load for directing electrical energy into or out of said symmetric redox flow battery; a separator component that separates the electrolyte solutions in the positive and negative compartments while permitting the passage of non-redox-active species between electrolyte solutions in positive and negative compartments; and means capable of establishing flow of the electrolyte solutions past said positive and negative electrodes, respectively. Methods of using the above-described redox flow battery for storing and releasing electrical energy are also described.

    摘要: Titanium catecholate complexes can be desirable active materials for flow batteries and other electrochemical energy storage systems, particularly when incorporated in aqueous electrolyte solutions. It can be desirable to avoid introducing even traces of certain organic solvents into aqueous electrolyte solutions. Neat methods for synthesizing titanium catecholate complexes can help avoid the unwanted introduction of trace organic solvents into aqueous electrolyte solutions and also provide further advantages. Methods for synthesizing titanium catecholate complexes can include: combining a catechol compound and a titanium reagent in an absence of solvent to produce a reaction mixture, and reacting the titanium reagent with the catechol compound in a neat state to form a titanium catecholate complex containing at least one catecholate ligand. The titanium catecholate complex can be further reacted with a base to produce a salt form titanium catecholate complex, which can be present in an aqueous phase.
