METHODS FOR DETERMINING AND/OR ADJUSTING REDOX-ACTIVE ELEMENT CONCENTRATIONS IN REDOX FLOW BATTERIES

摘要

Methods of determining concentrations and/or amounts of redox-active elements at each valence state in an electrolyte solution of a redox flow battery are provided. Once determined, the concentrations and/or amounts of the redox-active elements at each valence state can be used to determine side-reactions, make chemical adjustments, periodically monitor battery capacity, adjust performance, or to otherwise determine a baseline concentration of the redox-active ions for any purpose.
