Patent number: 11276855Abstract: Redox flow battery performance may be improved with a metal containing ionic liquid as a liquid electrolyte. Metal containing ionic liquids are liquids at all temperatures of interest and therefore do not need dilution. As such, voltage separation between the anolyte and catholyte may exceed 0.5 V and therefor rival current state-of-the-art energy storage technologies and with higher voltage separation may attain energy densities above 100 Wh/L.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: James Anthony Suttil, Sharmila K. Samaroo, Neal D. McDaniel, Jeffrey H. Drese, Alexander Zachariah Wilbee, Hongjin Tan

Patent number: 11251457Abstract: A redox flow battery is described that does not include an ion exchange resin such as a proton exchange membrane but rather uses a generally stationary separator liquid that separates the anolyte from the catholyte at immiscible liquid-liquid interfaces. Solvents and electrochemically active components of the anolyte and catholyte would not cross the liquid-liquid interfaces between the separator liquid and the anolyte and catholyte, but certain ions in each of the anolyte and catholyte would cross the interface during charging and discharging of the redox flow battery. The separator liquid comprises a relatively small total volume of liquid in such a flow battery arrangement as compared to the anolyte and catholyte. Suitable chemical options are described along with system options for utilizing immiscible phases.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: James Anthony Suttil, Hongjin Tan, Neal McDaniel, Sharmila Samaroo, Jeffrey H.

Patent number: 11223061Abstract: A redox flow battery is described that does not include ion-exchange resin such as an expensive proton exchange membrane but rather uses immiscible catholyte and anolyte liquids in contact at a liquid-liquid interface. Solvents and electrochemically active components of the anolyte and catholyte would not cross the liquid-liquid interface between the anolyte and catholyte, but certain ions in each of the anolyte and catholyte would cross the interface during charging and discharging of the redox flow battery. Suitable chemical options are described along with system options for utilizing immiscible phases.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Neal McDaniel, Hongjin Tan, James Anthony Suttil, Sharmila Samaroo, Jeffrey H.
