Abstract
A redox flow battery includes a redox flow cell and a supply and storage system external of the redox flow cell. The supply and storage system includes first and second electrolytes for circulation through the redox flow cell. The first electrolyte is a liquid electrolyte having electrochemically active manganese species with multiple, reversible oxidation states in the redox flow cell. The electrochemically active manganese species may undergo reactions that cause precipitation of manganese oxide solids. The first electrolyte includes an inhibitor that limits the self-discharge reactions. The inhibitor includes an oxoanion compound.
