In the case of sealed systems with internal rebalancing, the balance can be fully restored so that in principal, steady-state operation can be achieved. Development of sealed flow batteries with internal rebalancing is thus an important step toward the ideal "maintenance-free" operation.
In a general view of the whole rebalancing process, it can be stated that the oxygen, which has caused the imbalance of the battery, has been removed by the rebalancing process and the chemical composition of the electrolyte has been restored. This is different in the case of imbalance by gassing of hydrogen: (36) 2 H + + 2 e - → H 2
A novel electrolyte rebalancing method for vanadium redox flow batteries is presented. The method uses a rebalancing cell fed from the positive electrolyte tank. The rebalancing cell reduces the concentration of V (V) ions in the catholyte. A multi-physical numerical model is used to control and optimize the process.
Conclusions Hydrogen side-reactions lead to an electrolyte imbalance in all-iron flow batteries, and this occurs simultaneously for iron and hydrogen species. Fortunately, this problem can be corrected using an appropriate rebalancing system.
A new method to restore the imbalance in VRFB electrolytes by electrochemical regeneration has been conceived and developed. The process is performed by using an electrolysis cell (called “regeneration cell”) where a positive electrolyte reduction is coupled with an oxygen evolution reaction catalyzed by a Ti-IrO 2 electrode.
A new method is proposed that restores the battery energy and capacity of a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery, by counteracting the charge imbalance caused by air-oxidation and hydrogen evolution in the negative electrolyte. The process makes use of a regeneration system specifically designed and successfully tested.
