    Abstract: A redox flow battery system includes a redox flow battery that has a redox flow cell, and a supply/storage system external of the redox flow cell. The supply/storage system includes first and second electrolytes for circulation through the redox flow cell. At least the first electrolyte is an aqueous liquid electrolyte that has electrochemically active species with multiple, reversible oxidation states. There is a gas vent passage connected with the redox flow battery to receive water byproduct that evolves from side reaction of the first electrolyte. A bypass passage is connected with the supply/storage system to receive the aqueous electrolyte. An electrochemical recovery cell includes a first half-cell connected to the gas vent passage to receive as a reactant the water byproduct and a second half-cell connected to the bypass passage to receive as a reactant the first electrolyte.

    Abstract: A method of determining a distribution of electrolytes in a flow battery includes providing a flow battery with a fixed amount of fluid electrolyte having a common electrochemically active specie, a portion of the fluid electrolyte serving as an anolyte and a remainder of the fluid electrolyte serving as a catholyte. An average oxidation state of the common electrochemically active specie is determined in the anolyte and the catholyte and, responsive to the determined average oxidation state, a molar ratio of the common electrochemically active specie between the anolyte and the catholyte is adjusted to increase an energy discharge capacity of the flow battery for the determined average oxidation state.

    Abstract: An electrochemical device includes a plurality of electrode assemblies that define a plurality of electrochemically active areas. A non-electrically-conductive manifold includes a common manifold passage and a plurality of branch passages that extend, respectively, between the electrochemically active areas and the common manifold passage. Each of the branch passages includes a first region and a second region that differ in surface area.

    Abstract: A redox flow battery includes first and second cells. Each cell has electrodes and a separator layer arranged between the electrodes. A first circulation loop is fluidly connected with the first electrode of the first cell. A polysulfide electrolyte solution has a pH 11.5 or greater and is contained in the first recirculation loop. A second circulation loop is fluidly connected with the second electrode of the second cell. An iron electrolyte solution has a pH 3 or less and is contained in the second circulation loop. A third circulation loop is fluidly connected with the second electrode of the first cell and the first electrode of the second cell. An intermediator electrolyte solution is contained in the third circulation loop. The cells are operable to undergo reversible reactions to store input electrical energy upon charging and discharge the stored electrical energy upon discharging.

    Abstract: A flow battery includes a cell stack that has electrochemically active cells and manifolds that define common manifold passages in fluid communication with the electrochemically active cells. A supply/storage system is external of the cell stack and includes at least one vessel fluidly connected with respective ones of the common manifold passages. Fluid electrolytes are in the supply/storage system. At least one of the fluid electrolytes is an ionic-conductive fluid. The manifolds extend in a length direction through the cell stack. The common manifold passages include a common manifold passage P that varies in cross-section along the length direction.
