abstract = {Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are a promising technology for
grid energy storage based on their high potential for
scalability, design flexibility, high efficiency, and long
durability, hence great effort has been invested in this
area of research. However, due to the large differences in
lab-scale RFB cell design and construction as well their
operational performance, fundamental studies on innovative
RFB components (e.g., active materials, separators,
additives) compare poorly due to the lack of standard
setups, settings, and procedures. This work introduces an
experimental calibration route for aqueous as well as
nonaqueous RFBs based on a simple mass transport model using
molar fluxes, enabling one to compare dissimilar lab-scale
RFB cell setups by introducing several RFB parameters:
First, K1, which summarizes the operating parameters of an
RFB to identify the critical ratio (K1critical) needed for
efficient charge–discharge cycling using a simple
overvoltage and charge efficiency evaluation; second, the
RFB cell constant ζ, quantifying the influence of a
lab-scale RFB setup on its performance; and finally, K2,
ultimately enabling full comparison of (idealized)
K1critical operating parameters across RFB cell setups.},
