The invention relates to the technical field of cell electrolyte, and in particular relates to a vanadium cell electrolyte. The vanadium cell electrolyte is characterized in that at least one of inorganic molybdate, phosphate and oxalate is selected as an ionic liquid additive, wherein the inorganic molybdate is selected from at least one of sodium molybdate, ammonium molybdate, potassium molybdate, magnesium molybdate, zinc molybdate, iron molybdate, manganese molybdate and calcium molybdate; oxalate is selected from at least one of sodium oxalate, ammonium oxalate, potassium oxalate, lithiumoxalate, magnesium oxalate, zinc oxalate, iron oxalate, manganese oxalate and calcium oxalate. According to the vanadium cell electrolyte, the additive is capable of increasing the dissolvability ofthe electrolyte, inhibiting the hydrolyzing of pentavalent vanadium ions, and greatly improving the stability of cathode electrolyzing; inorganic molybdate is treated as the cathode electrolyte additive through which the stability of the cathode electrolyte is improved, and the running temperature range of a vanadium cell is expanded. The vanadium cell electrolyte is simple in preparation processand operation, and low in cost; the vanadium cell can easily stably run under high temperature.
