We have demonstrated the performance of an aqueous redox flow battery composed of a negative electrode consisting of a redox couple between anthraquinone di-sulfonate and its corresponding hydroquinone, and a positive electrode consisting of a redox couple between hydrobromic acid and bromine. The peak power density is approximately 0.6 W/cm2. After 750 deep cycles, the average discharge capacity retention is 99.84% per cycle and the average current efficiency is 98.35%.
