Abstract: Disclosed is a cost-effective and long-living redox flow cell using less corrosive redox-active components. The redox flow cell comprises a reaction cell having two electrode chambers for catholyte and anolyte, which are each connected to at least one store for liquid and are separated by an ion-conducting membrane, and which are equipped with electrodes, wherein the electrode chambers are each filled with electrolyte solutions comprising redox-active components dissolved or dispersed in an electrolyte solvent, as well as optionally conducting salts dissolved therein and optionally further additives.

Abstract: Disclosed is a redox flow battery which is of simple construction, inexpensive and long-lasting. The redox flow battery for storing electrical energy comprises a reaction cell having two electrode chambers for catholyte and anolyte, which are each connected to at least one store for liquid and are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is impermeable for the redox pair in the catholyte, and which are equipped with electrodes, wherein the electrode chambers are each filled with electrolyte solutions comprising redox-active components in liquid state, dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous electrolyte solvent, and optionally conducting salts dissolved therein and optionally further additives.
