Patent number: 9819039Abstract: Redox flow battery systems having a supporting solution that contains Cl? ions can exhibit improved performance and characteristics. Furthermore, a supporting solution having mixed SO42? and Cl? ions can provide increased energy density and improved stability and solubility of one or more of the ionic species in the catholyte and/or anolyte. According to one example, a vanadium-based redox flow battery system is characterized by an anolyte having V2+ and V3+ in a supporting solution and a catholyte having V4+ and V5+ in a supporting solution. The supporting solution can contain Cl? ions or a mixture of SO42? and Cl? ions.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Liyu Li, Soowhan Kim, Zhenguo Yang, Wei Wang, Zimin Nie, Baowei Chen, Jianlu Zhang, Guanguang Xia
