Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018224346A1] The invention relates to a rechargeable redox flow battery and to a method for operating an electrically rechargeable redox flow battery. A redox flow battery comprising a first and second chamber which are separated by a membrane, wherein the first chamber comprises a cathode and the second chamber comprises an anode, is initially provided. A first electrolyte is routed into the first chamber as catholyte and a second electrode is routed into the second chamber as anolyte, wherein the first and/or second electrolyte comprises a reduction-oxidation pair, and wherein the oxidation number of the reduction-oxidation pair is changed by adding a first component to the first and/or second electrolyte and/or the oxidation number is changed electrochemically.
