Abstract
A method for treating a liquid redox electrolyte solution for use in a flow battery includes feeding a liquid redox electrolyte solution into a first half-cell of an electrochemical cell and feeding a gaseous reductant into a second half-cell of the electrochemical cell, and electrochemically reducing at least a portion of the liquid redox electrolyte solution in the electrochemical cell using the gaseous reductant.
