Abstract

A redox flow battery includes a battery cell including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a membrane disposed between these two electrodes; a positive electrode electrolyte supplied to the positive electrode; and a negative electrode electrolyte supplied to the negative electrode, wherein the positive electrode electrolyte contains manganese ions and a phosphorus-containing substance, the negative electrode electrolyte contains at least one species of metal ions selected from titanium ions, vanadium ions, chromium ions, and zinc ions, and a concentration of the phosphorus-containing substance is 0.001 M or more and 1 M or less.

Claims (13)

1. A redox flow battery comprising: a battery cell including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a membrane disposed between these two electrodes; a positive electrode electrolyte supplied to the positive electrode; and a negative electrode electrolyte supplied to the negative electrode,

wherein the positive electrode electrolyte contains manganese ions and a phosphorus-containing substance,

the negative electrode electrolyte contains at least one species of metal ions selected from titanium ions, vanadium ions, chromium ions, and zinc ions,

a concentration of the phosphorus-containing substance is 0.001 M or more and 1 M or less,

the positive electrode electrolyte further contains at least one species of additive metal ions selected from magnesium ions, aluminum ions, cadmium ions, indium ions, tin ions, antimony ions, iridium ions, gold ions, lead ions, and bismuth ions, and

in the positive electrode electrolyte, a concentration of the additive metal ions is 0.001 M or more and 1 M or less.

2. The redox flow battery according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode electrolyte further contains titanium ions.

3. The redox flow battery according to claim 2 , wherein, in the positive electrode electrolyte, a concentration of the titanium ions is 5 M or less.
