Abstract: A method of in-situ electrolyte preparation in a flow battery includes providing a vanadium-based electrolyte solution having vanadium ions of predominantly vanadium V 4+ to a first electrode and a second electrode of at least one cell of a flow battery. The vanadium V 4+ at the first electrode is converted to vanadium V 3+ and the vanadium V 4+ at the second electrode is converted to vanadium V 5+ by providing electrical energy to the electrodes. A reducing agent is then provided to the vanadium V 5+ at the second electrode to reduce the V 5+ to vanadium V 4+ . The vanadium V 3+ at the first electrode is then converted to vanadium V 2+ and the vanadium V 4+ at the second electrode is then converted to vanadium V 5+ by providing electrical energy to the electrodes. A simple method to produce predominantly vanadium V 4+ electrolyte from a V 5+ source, such as V 2 O 5 , is also taught.

Abstract: A method of treating a carbon electrode includes providing a carbon-based electrode that has a surface with chemically different carbon oxides. The surface is treated with a reducing agent to reduce at least a portion of the oxides to a target carbon oxide. In an aspect, a method of treating a carbon electrode includes providing a carbon-based electrode that has a surface with an initial non-zero concentration of a target carbon oxide. The surface is then treated with a reducing agent to increase the initial non-zero concentration of the target carbon oxide.
