Zusammenfassung

Long-term large-scale storage of electrical energy is crucial for a widespread use of renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind power as they are strongly fluctuating. Redox-flow batteries store the electrical energy in redox equivalents of redox-active species in solution (anolyte and catholyte). They offer several advantages compared to solid state battery systems as they provide a flexible layout, long cycle life, fast response times, and no harmful emissions. The intrinsically limited energy density of flow cells is compensated by the highly modular layout allowing, in ...
