Abstract
A semi-vanadium(V) redox flow battery (semi-VRFB) including a positive electrolyte tank, a negative electrolyte tank and a cell stack. The positive electrolyte tank is stored with a positive electrolyte of V ions and the negative electrolyte tank is stored with a negative electrolyte of iodine(I)-vitamin C. The cell stack comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an insulating film, a positive electrode plate, and a negative electrode plate. The negative electrode is made of carbon (C) sandwiched with titanium dioxide(TiO), and can further comprise a metal or an alloy. The insulating film is located between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The positive and negative electrode plates are located in front of the positive and negative electrodes, respectively. The positive and negative electrolytes flow through the positive and negative electrode plates to charge/discharge power by the electrochemical reactions of V ions and I-vitamin C at the positive and negative electrodes.
