氧化还原液流电池（RFB）因其能够广泛采用可再生电力的潜力而受到越来越多的关注。然而，与该技术的持续发展相关的关键需求涉及设计表现出快速、稳定的电子转移动力学的电极-电解质界面。这篇有针对性的综述概述了与测量和增强现有和新兴液流电池活性材料的电子转移动力学相关的关键挑战。我们讨论了几个有前途的机会，推进液流电池科学和技术的工具，应用电分析和催化科学。这些挑战和机遇与未来旨在推动RFB在电网规模储能中的商业应用的研究广泛相关。
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) have garnered increasing attention for their potential to enable the widespread adoption of renewable electricity. However, a critical need associated with the continued development of this technology involves designing electrode-electrolyte interfaces that exhibit rapid, stable electron transfer kinetics. This targeted review outlines key challenges associated with measuring and enhancing the electron transfer kinetics of established and emerging flow battery active materials. We discuss several promising opportunities for advancing flow battery science and technology using the tools of applied electroanalysis and catalysis science. These challenges and opportunities are broadly relevant for future research directed at advancing the commercial adoption of RFBs for grid-scale energy storage.
