Definitions
- Electrical energy can be stored by various processes.
- One possibility is the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy by chemical reactions on electrode surfaces by electric current.
- This type of energy storage is used technically in secondary batteries (accumulators) on a large scale.
- a secondary battery is an electrochemical cell that consists of two half-cells.
- the two half-cells are usually separated by an ion-conducting separator.
- the separator ensures a charge balance, but prevents the mass transfer between the half-cells.
- In the negative half cell takes place during the storage process, a reduction of the active material, in the positive half-cell oxidation.
- In the storage process electrons thus flow from the positive half-cell into the negative half-cell, in the discharge process in the opposite direction.
- both half-cells as an inner conductor is a liquid substance or
- the electrode is the phase boundary between the electrical conductor and the ionic conductor.
- the active material may be the electrode itself, a substance dissolved in the electrolyte or substances stored in the electrode material.
- the active material consists of substances dissolved in the electrolyte, then the result is that with this type of battery the amount of energy and the power can be scaled independently of each other, since the electrolyte flows from reservoirs to the
- Electrodes can be passed. This type of electrochemical
- Energy storage is called redox flow accumulator and includes a positively charged electrolyte component (catholyte) and a negatively charged
- Electrolyte component (anolyte).
- the general battery equations for redox flow accumulators are as follows:
- Oxidation levels are shifted, resulting in a loss of capacity.
