Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a flow battery for storing electric energy by an electrochemical method. Background technique
[0002] Due to the volatility and uncertainty of most renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power generation, large-scale electrical energy storage is a necessary part of the effective use of renewable energy. An economic and reliable energy storage technology is also urgently needed in microgrid applications. Redox flow battery (RFB) is a potential energy storage technology that can be used in wind or solar power stations.
[0003] Power plants such as ships and submarines also require high-efficiency large-scale battery energy.
[0004] In the prior art, Skyllas-Kazacos et al. describe a redox flow battery using alum, which has very low cross-penetration between catholyte and anolyte (US Patent No. 4786567). Zito et al. describe a flow battery based on iron-sulfur electric pairs (US Patent No. 5,422,197). Skyllas-Kazacos et al...
