The electrolyte flow rates of vanadium redox flow battery play very important role in terms of ion transfer to electrolyte, kinetics and pump efficiency in system. In this paper a vanadium redox flow battery single cell was tested to suggest the optimization criteria of electrolyte flow rates on the efficiencies. The compared electrolyte circulation flow rates in this experimental work were 15, 30 and 45 mL/min. The charge/discharge characteristics of the flow rate of 30 mL/min was the best out of all flow rates in terms of charging and discharging time. The current efficiencies, voltage efficiencies and energy efficiencies at the flow rate of 30 mL/min were the best. The IR losses obtained at thd current density of $40mA/cm^2$, at the flow rates of 15, 30 and 45 mL/min were 0.085 V, 0.042 V and 0.115 V, respectively. The charge efficiencies at the current density of $40mA/cm^2$ were 96.42%, 96.45% and 96.29% for the electrolyte flow rates of 15, 30 and 45 mL/min, respectively. The voltge efficiencies at the current density of $40mA/cm^2$ were 77.34%, 80.62% and 76.10% for the electrolyte flow rates of 15, 30 and 45 mL/min, respectively. Finally, the energy efficiencies at the current density of $40mA/cm^2$ were 74.57%, 77.76% and 73.27% for the electrolyte flow rates of 15, 30 and 45 mL/min, respectively. The optimum flow rates of electrolytes were 20 mL/min in most of operating variables of vanadium redox flow battery.

The electrolyte added the chlorosulfuric acid ($HSO_3Cl$) as an additive was tested for the electrolyte in all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) to increase the thermal stability of electrolyte. The electrolyte property was measured by the CV (cyclic voltammetry) method. The maximum value of a voltage and current density in the electrolyte added $HSO_3Cl$ was higher than that in the electrolyte non-added $HSO_3Cl$. The thermal stability of the pentavalent vanadium ion solution, which was tested at $40^{\circ}C$, increased by adding $HSO_3Cl$. The performances of VRFB using the electrolyte added and non-added $HSO_3Cl$ were measured during 30 cycles of charge-discharge at the current density of $60mA/cm^2$. An average energy efficiency of the VRFB was 72.5%, 82.4%, and 81.6% for the electrolyte non-added $HSO_3Cl$, added 0.5 mol of $HSO_3Cl$, and added 1.0 mol of $HSO_3Cl$, respectively. VRFB using the electrolyte added $HSO_3Cl$ was showed the higher performance than that using the electrolyte non-added $HSO_3Cl$.

Nanoporous or nanotubular metal oxide can be fabricated by anodization of metal substrate in fluoride contained electrolytes. The approach allows various transition metals such as Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta to form highly ordered oxide nanostructures. These oxide nanostructures have various advantages such as high surface area, fast electron transport rate and slow recombination in semiconductive materials. Recently, vanadium oxide nanostructures have been drawn attentions due to their superior electronic, catalytic and ion insertion properties. However, anodization of vanadium metal to form oxide layers is relatively difficult due to ease formation of highly soluble complex in water contained electrolyte during anodization. Yang et al. reported $[TiF_6]^{2-}$ or $[BF_4]^-$ in electrolyte helps to formation of stable oxide layer [1, 2]. However, the reported approaches are very sensitive in other parameters. In this presentation, we deal with the other important key parameters to form ordered anodic vanadium oxide such as pH, temperatures and applied potential.

본 연구에서는 유기환원제로 포름산과 촉매로 PtD/C를 사용하여 불순물이 없는 고품질 V^3.5+ 전해질을 생산하였고 이를 VRFB에 적용하였다.

We describe a redox-enhanced electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) that turns the electrolyte in a conventional EDLC into an integral, active component for charge storage-charge is stored both through faradaic reactions with soluble redox-active molecules in the electrolyte, and through the double-layer capacitance in a porous carbon electrode. The mixed-redox electrolyte, composed of vanadium and iodides, was employed to achieve high power density. The electrochemical reaction in a supercapacitor with vanadium and iodide was studied to estimate the charge capacity and energy density of the redox supercapacitor. A redox supercapacitor with a mixed electrolyte composed of 0.75 M NaI and 0.5 M $VOSO_4$ was fabricated and studied. When charged to a potential of 1 V, faradaic charging processes were observed, in addition to the capacitive processes that increased the energy storage capabilities of the supercapacitor. The redox supercapacitor achieved a specific capacity of 13.44 mAh/g and an energy density of 3.81 Wh/kg in a simple Swagelok cell. A control EDLC with 1 M $H_2SO_4$ yielded 7.43 mAh/g and 2.85 Wh/kg. However, the relatively fast self-discharge in the redox-EDLC may be due to the shuttling of the redox couple between the polarized carbon electrodes.

All solid state thin film micro-batteries consisting of lithium metal anode, an amorphous LiPON electrolyte and cathode of vanadium oxide have been fabricated and characterized, which were fabricated with cell structure of Li/LiPON/V$_2$O$\sub$5/Pt. The vanadium oxide thin films were formed by d.c. reactive sputtering on Pt current collector. After deposition of vanadium oxide films, in-situ growths of lithium phosphorus oxynitride film were conducted by r.f. sputtering of Li$_3$PO$_4$ target in mixture gas of N$_2$ and O$_2$. The pure metal lithium film was deposited by thermal evaporation on thin film LiPON electrolyte. The cell capacity was about 45${\mu}$Ah/$\textrm{cm}^2$ $\mu\textrm{m}$ after 200 cycle. No appreciable degradation of the cell capacity could be observed after 50 cycles .

Owing to their scalability, flexible operation, and long cycle life, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have gained immense attention over the past few years. However, the VRFBs suffer from significant polarization, which decreases their cell efficiency. The activation polarization occurring during vanadium redox reactions greatly affects the overall performance of VRFBs. Therefore, it is imperative to develop electrodes with numerous catalytic sites and a long cycle life. In this study, we synthesized heteroatom-rich carbon-based freestanding papers (H-CFPs) by a facile dispersion and filtration process. The H-CFPs exhibited high specific surface area (${\sim}820m^2g^{-1}$) along with a number of redox-active heteroatoms (such as oxygen and nitrogen) and showed high catalytic activity for vanadium redox reactions. The H-CFP electrodes showed excellent electrochemical performance. They showed low anodic and cathodic peak potential separation (${\Delta}E_p$) values of ~120 mV (positive electrolyte) and ~124 mV (negative electrolyte) in cyclic voltammetry conducted at a scan rate of $5mV\;s^{-1}$. Hence, the H-CFP-based VRFBs showed significantly reduced polarization.

최근 휴대용 기기의 급속한 발전이 이뤄지고, 다양한 전자제품에서 높은 성능의 이차 전지가 요구됨에 따라 고에너지밀도 특성을 가능케 하는 전극 재료의 연구가 주목받고 있다. 음극의 경우, 기존에 사용하고 있는 흑연재료를 대체하기 위하여 실리콘, 주석 등의 소재와 전이금속 산화물을 새로운 음극재료로 사용하려고 한다. 리튬 바나듐 옥사이드는 리튬 전이금속 산화물 기반의 음극 소재로서 흑연 대비 1.5배의 부피당 용량을 나타낼 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있으나, 낮은 전기전도도와 입자 파쇄현상으로 인하여 전해질의 분해가 가속화되어 성능이 열화되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 개선시키기 위하여 전해질 첨가제를 도입하여 전극/전해질 계면의 개질에 따른 리튬 바나듐 옥사이드의 전기화학적 거동 특성을 보고자 하였다.
