Abstract

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are promising energy storage candidates for grid deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy. Various new redox-active materials have been introduced to develop cost-effective and high-power-density next-generation RFBs. Electrochemical kinetics play critical roles in influencing RFB performance, notably the overpotential and cell power density. Thus, determining the kinetic parameters for the employed redox-active species is essential. In this Perspective, we provide the background, guidelines, and limitations for a proposed electrochemical protocol to define the kinetics of redox-active species in RFBs.
