Abstract
Provided is a redox flow battery that can suppress generation of a precipitation on a positive electrode. The redox flow battery performs charging and discharging by supplying a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte to a battery cell that includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separating membrane interposed between the two electrodes. The positive electrode electrolyte contains a manganese ion and an additional metal ion, the negative electrode electrolyte contains at least one metal ion selected from a titanium ion, a vanadium ion, a chromium ion, and a zinc ion, and the additional metal ion contained in the positive electrode electrolyte is at least one of an aluminum ion, a cadmium ion, an indium ion, a tin ion, an antimony ion, an iridium ion, a gold ion, a lead ion, a bismuth ion, and a magnesium ion.
