Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrolyte including a mixture of hydroxynaphtoquinone and a precursor material thereof is provided. The electrolyte may achieve higher capacities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrolyte for an aqueous redox flow battery (ARFB), the electrolyte comprising a mixture of a compound represented by Formula (I) and a compound represented by Formula (II): wherein R 1 to R 4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 3 alkyl, and C 1 -C 3 alkoxy, and M is a metal selected from the group consisting of Na, Li, and K; wherein the electrolyte is a basic aqueous solution. 2. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula (II) to the compound represented by Formula (I) ranges from 0.1 to 10. 3. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Formula (I) has a lower molar concentration than the compound represented by Formula (II). 4. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula (II) to the compound represented by Formula (I) ranges from 1.5 to 3. 5. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Formula (I) is a compound represented by Formula (III): wherein M is the same as defined in claim 1 . 6. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Formula (II) is a compound represented by Formula (IV): 7. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte contains KOH. 8. An aqueous redox flow battery (ARFB) comprising the electrolyte of claim 1 . 9. The ARFB of claim 8 , wherein the electrolyte is used as a negative electrode electrolyte and ferrocyanide is used as a positive electrode electrolyte.
