This work demonstrates the potential of POMs for the electrolyte of RFBs. The developed POM-RFBs not only contribute to the development of new ESSs to address the current energy crisis, but also shed light on the methodology to build a new RFB and, more specifically, on the influence of the composition and POM structure on the cell performance.
