Effect of magnetic field on the performance of a deep eutectic solvent-based redox flow battery from polarization perspective

In recent years, with the promotion of global renewable energy, the introduction of energy storage batteries has become more and more important. Redox flow battery has attracted more and more attention due to their environmental friendliness, safe and reliable operation. This work studies the effect of different magnetic field intensities and the duration of magnetic field addition on the mass transfer and electrochemical reaction process of iron-vanadium ions in deep eutectic solvent (DES). At the same time, the effect of magnetic field on the polarization performance of DES-based redox flow battery is also studied. The experimental results show that the iron and vanadium DES electrolytes increase their redox peak current density under the action of adding magnetic field. The test of the polarization performance of the DES-based redox flow battery shows that the addition of magnetic field can reduce the area specific resistance (ASR) of the battery and improve the polarization performance of the battery.
