Redox Flow Battery Data for Coupled Energy Storage and Chemical Production

An open-loop flow battery couples energy storage with the production of value-added chemicals. The dataset includes performance data for a system pairing VO2+/VO2+ with ethylene glycol conversion, demonstrating >100% voltage efficiency and stability over 200 cycles. Author Yucong Miao published the data on figshare in June 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing battery cycling stability based on the reported 200-cycle test.
• Modeling techno-economic performance based on the reported levelized cost of electricity of -$0.26/kWh.
• Evaluating chemical production yields based on the reported 532.2 g of glycolic acid and 272.9 L of H2 produced over 10 days.
• Screening organic substrate compatibility based on tests across 13 different compounds.

Strengths

• Includes specific performance metrics, such as >100% voltage and energy efficiencies.
• Reports scaled-up production results, including 532.2 g of glycolic acid and 272.9 L of H2 generated.
• Demonstrates system versatility with tests across 13 organic substrates.
• Provides a detailed techno-economic analysis with a calculated levelized cost of electricity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is stored in a 61.0 MB XLSX file, which may require specific software to open and analyze.
