Abstract
The present disclosure relate to a method for operating a redox flow battery, which includes the steps of discharging the redox flow battery having an anode electrolyte and a cathode electrolyte when a volume difference between the anode electrolyte and the cathode electrolyte is within 20% of a total volume of the anode electrolyte and the cathode electrolyte, while maintaining an open circuit voltage of lower than 1.3 V/cell, and moving the anode electrolyte and/or the cathode electrolyte so that the volume difference is 2% or less between the anode electrolyte and the cathode electrolyte in the redox flow battery after the discharging.
