The stability of typical vanadium flow battery (VFB) catholytes with respect to pptn. of V2O5 was investigated at temps. in the range 30-60°C. In all cases a ppt. formed after an induction time, which decreased with increasing temp. and concn. of VV and increased with concn. of sulfate. Arrhenius-type plots are shown for two typical solns. These have excellent linearity and have similar slopes which yield an apparent activation energy of 1.79 eV (172 kJ mol-1). The variation of induction time with temp. for various concns. of VV was simulated, and stability diagrams for additive-free VFB catholytes were generated. [on SciFinder(R)]
