The present disclosure relates to compositions which may be used in a redox flow battery. The compositions comprise an electrolyte comprising particles of positive electrode active material and/or particles of negative electrode active material. The particles of positive or negative electrode active material include a core and a coating which comprise a metal or metal-containing compound. The density of the core and the density of the coating differs by at least 0.1 g/cm3. The disclosure also relates to a redox flow battery comprising such compositions and to a method for its use.
A method of manufacturing a plate suitable for use as a bipolar plate 500 in a bipolar battery 1 is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of extruding a first polymer containing conductive particles to form a conductive polymer plate 505, cutting a conductive polymer core 512 from the conductive polymer plate 505, and overmoulding the conductive polymer core 512 with a second polymer to provide a non-conductive polymer surround 516. A bipolar battery 1 is also disclosed, as well as a method of making a bipolar battery 1.
A flow battery includes a first conductive plate and a second conductive plate. Each of the first and second conductive plates has an undulating surface formed with a first plurality of undulations which extend along a first axis of the conductive plate, and a second plurality of undulations which extend along a second, perpendicular axis of the conductive plate. The first and second conductive plates are arranged to form a first cell of the flow battery in which the respective undulating surfaces of the first and second conductive plates provide a cathode and a corresponding anode of the first cell, and define opposing walls of an electrolyte flow channel between the first and second conductive plates.
