Abstract
A method of forming a redox couple bed for a solid oxide redox flow battery is described. The method includes mixing together carbon and metal oxide. The method further includes heating the mixture while feeding an inert gas into the mixture, the inert gas removing gas products CO and CO2. The metal oxide is reduced to a metal resulting in formation of a redox couple bed.
