摘要
The charge/discharge characteristics of an undivided redox flow battery, using porous electrodes and chromium-EDTA electrolyte are discussed. The results indicate that a high current efficiency can be achieved using this system with single pass, flow through electrodes. With 0.2 M electrolytes and a charging current density of 30 mA cm-2, 100% current efficiency was achieved with 48% conversion of Cr(III) to Cr(II). However, the overall energy efficiency of charge/discharge of this redox flow battery was less than 7%. The results suggest that this poor efficiency was associated with the slow kinetics and consequently large overpotential of the Cr(V)-EDTA/Cr(III)-EDTA redox couple.
