ABSTRACT
The redox flow cell as energy generator and storage device operates on the principle of oxidation-reduction in which the redox couple remain soluble in their electrolyte in either the oxidized or reduced state. Direct energy subsystems for buildings could include conventional storage batteries, conventional hydrogen fuel cells, and the redox flow cells for energy supply and storage. The redox cell is electrically rechargeable by reversing the direction of flow of electric current. In the catholyte of a redox flow cell, the working fluid could be a ferric ionic solution containing individual and/or clusters of ion and chlorine in a random pattern. In the redox flow cell throughout the discharge and recharge processes, two modes of magnetization and relaxation are taking place: Internal with respect to ferro-magnetic fluid ions, and External with respect to ferro-fluid particles and their chaining which includes particle rotation and moment orientation.
