Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a rebalancing reactor of a flow battery system. In one example, a pH of a battery electrolyte may be maintained by the rebalancing reactor by applying a negative potential to a catalyst bed of the rebalancing reactor. A performance of the rebalancing reactor may further be maintained by treating the catalyst bed with deionized water.
Claims8
A method, comprising:
- activating a conductive wire coupled to a catalyst bed in response to a ferric iron reduction rate decreasing below a threshold rate, wherein the catalyst bed is arranged in a cell balancing reactor of a redox flow battery system.
