A stable organic dye catholyte for long-life aqueous flow batteries

Abstract

An organic dye, Basic blue 3 (BB3), was reported for the first time as a two-electron catholyte for aqueous redox flow batteries. The exceptional stability of BB3 enabled the full battery to achieve a high capacity retention of >99.991% per cycle during 1500 cycles.
