Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018050547A1] The invention relates to a method for determining the state of charge of a vanadium redox flow cell, in which the concentrations of V4+ and V5+ in the positive electrolyte are determined indirectly by mixing the positive and the negative electrolyte together in specific proportions in order to reduce the V5+ contained in the positive electrolyte. CT complexes of V4+/V5+, the concentration of which cannot be determined directly due to strong UV/Vis absorption, are thus avoided. The method therefore makes it possible to determine the concentrations of the negative and the positive electrolyte by means of UV/Vis absorptions, which allows a simple monitoring of the state of charge of a vanadium redox flow battery. The invention further relates to a method for operating a vanadium redox flow battery and to devices suitable for implementing said method.
