Summary

1) The issue introduction includes the background and the importance of this research area.

Against the global pursuit of carbon neutrality, new energy storage has become a core support for large-scale renewable energy integration. Redox flow batteries stand out owing to their flexible capacity configuration and long cycle life, yet bottlenecks remain restricting practical promotion. Unreasonable flow field structures cause uneven electrolyte distribution; inadequate temperature regulation triggers performance attenuation and safety risks; unscientific operation strategies further reduce system reliability. Therefore, modeling, thermal management and operational optimization are urgently required. This research focuses on redox flow battery modeling and simulation, flow field design, thermal control, and reliable operation optimization. Clarifying relevant mechanisms helps cut energy loss, enhance stability, and lower operation costs, offering theoretical support for the large-scale application of new energy storage.
