2.1 Motivation Most of the existing work on the kW-scale vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is based on the constant current operation. Zhao et al. reported a kW-scale VRFB charge-discharge cycling at constant current density 70 mA/cm2with an average power output of 1.14 kW.
The capacity of the battery is related to the amount of stored electrolyte in the battery system, concentration of active species, the voltage of each cell and the number of stacks present in the battery . Conversely, the power generated is related to the behavior of the active species and the electrode size .
No transfer of vanadium ions across the membrane will ensure maximum coulombic efficiency and any crossover of vanadium/other species into the opposing cell will result in self discharge and reduced energy efficiency in the cell .
