AI Technical Summary
Current methods for monitoring redox flow batteries are limited in providing real-time insights into their performance and degradation pathways, especially for nitroxide radical-based catholytes, which are challenging to probe under operando conditions, leading to potential battery failure and cascade effects in critical systems.
A computer-implemented method using pH and bulk magnetic susceptibility measurements during battery operation to determine the state of a redox flow battery, combined with calibration data, to estimate current and future states, enabling real-time optimization and control.
Enables accurate, low-cost, and sensitive monitoring of battery state of charge, health, and operating conditions, predicting future capacity decline, and allowing for real-time optimization to extend battery lifetime and ensure energy demands are met.
