This study investigates the dual-storage capability of a redox flow battery (RFB) system, enabling simultaneous storage of heat and electricity within a single platform. Through electrochemical and thermal experiments, we evaluated how heat storage affects battery performance and vice versa using a counterflow heat exchanger integrated in a conventional RFB configuration. The results show that incorporating heat storage had a minimal impact on the electrochemical charging and discharging processes. Further, the heat discharge operated independently of electrochemical storage, confirming that both functions can coexist without interference. The combined system also enhanced overall energy conversion efficiency, demonstrating its potential as an efficient solution for supplying both thermal and electrical energyî—¸the two most widely used energy forms.
