Abstract

Redox flow batteries are attractive energy-storage devices for renewable energy and peak-power energy control. Even though some prototypes are available already, many new materials are under development for new battery systems. In this reports, redox pairs and theirs properties are explained, by which one can understand issues with redox pairs, such as contaminations, cross-over, ionic selectivity, and solubility. Batteries that have the same redox pairs in both electrode compartments can be operated longer than those with different redox pairs due to the prevention form the cross-contamination. There are undivided redox flow batteries that have no membrane, which is another direction improving cycle life of the batteries.

레독스 플로우 전지(RFB)는 대형에너지 장치로서 신재생 에너지와 같은 전력발생이 일정하지 못한 상황이나 전력수요가 급증감하여 효율적인 에너지의 운용이 요구될 때 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 전지모델이다. 일부 상용화된 종류도 있지만 다양한 레독스 쌍과 소재가 연구됨에 따라 개선의 여지가 많은 전지이다. 본 총설에서는 전지의 레독스 쌍(redox pair)의 종류들에 대한 설명을 통하여 레독스 플로우 전지의 전반적인 이해를 돕고자 한다. 레독스 쌍의 혼합오염, crossover, 이온 선택성, 용해도 등의 개선을 통해서 새로운 레독스 플로우 전지의 탄생을 기대할 수 있다. 용량의 개선을 위해서 다양한 수계 및 비수계 레독스 쌍의 연구가 되고 있는데 crossover에 의해 다소의 용량손실이 있다고 하더라도 혼합오염이 없는 전지라면 레독스 플로우 전지의 내구성의 장점을 살릴 수 있을 것이라 기대한다. 혼합오염이 없는 레독스 플로우 전지 중에는 멤브레인이 필요 없는 전지도 새로운 연구방향으로 모색되고 있다.
