Motivation
2
>50% capacity difference after 100 cycles dueonly to membrane
◦ Redox flow batteries are complex systems with many components and testing parameters.
◦ Performance comparisons between labs can be difficult.
Example: Changing ion-exchange membranes in an aqueous-organic RFB.

Standardization Goals
Standardization offers:◦ Researchers the ability to meaningfully compare RFB data across the literature
◦Consumers of flow battery technology meaningful comparison of costa and performance metrics
◦ Identification of best practices
Recommendation for a standard vs. reporting requirement

Flow Battery Testing Methodology
Charge/discharge rate◦Minimum required?
Depth of discharge
Cell resistance (IR correction)◦Differentiate between cell design and kinetics
Efficiencies – Coulombic/Voltage/Energy
Minimum run time
Capacity fade after X hours or cycles

Flow Battery Costs
Energy + Power Densities: as tested vs. theoretical◦Maximum rate for given depth of discharge
Materials costs◦Acceptable sources (Alibaba?)
Unusual hazards that might incur extra costs◦ e.g. highly flammable liquids, toxic gases

Example
“Santa Fe Protocol”Cell◦ 10 cm2 membrane area◦ 10 mL anolyte, 10 mL catholyte◦ 10 mL/min flow rate◦ carbon felt electrode
Testing◦ 25 mA cm-2
◦ 75% depth of discharge◦ 100 cycles (100 h?)
