Abstract
A flow battery having stable electrochemical performance is provided. The flow battery includes a separator disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a first flow plate to distribute a positive electrolyte to the positive electrode, and a second flow plate to distribute a negative electrolyte to the negative electrode. A material of at least one of the positive and negative electrodes is treated such that a surface area of the material when treated is greater than a surface area of the material when untreated. When the positive and negative electrolytes include vanadium ions, a concentration of vanadium in the positive electrolyte is different from a concentration of vanadium in the negative electrolyte to mitigate crossover-induced capacity fade.
