Systems for the catalytic activation and/or dehydrogenation of a paraffin feed stream that is enriched in C5 alkanes to produce olefins that are then hydrated in the presence of water to produce C5 alcohols. Optionally, paraffin isomers are separated and the n-paraffins isomerized prior to catalytic activation and/or dehydrogenation.

Redox flow battery efficiency and performance may be improved with a high energy density bipyridinium based ionic room-temperature liquid electrolyte. Current electrolytes require solvent to dissolve the redox-active material and a supporting electrolyte to maintain charge balance. A room temperature redox-active electrolyte having intrinsic charge balancing would not need a solvent to form a liquid and would therefore have a higher density of anions and cations involved with charge storage. As such, creating redox-active bipyridinium core ionic materials that are in a liquid form at room temperature or, more particularly, are liquids across the range at which a redox flow battery would operate permit smaller and less costly flow battery design than conventional flow batteries.
