Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for regenerating an electrolyte liquid of a flow battery, and a device for regenerating an electrolyte liquid of a flow battery. The method involves operating a flow battery, stopping the operation of the flow battery, mixing the anode electrolyte liquid and the cathode electrolyte liquid of the flow battery, electrically oxidizing or reducing the mixed electrolyte liquid and dividing the oxidized or reduced electrolyte liquid into each of a cathode electrolyte liquid storage unit and a anode electrolyte liquid storage unit. The device includes a flow battery and a flow battery for regeneration.
