1. A redox flow battery system having an electrochemical cell, the system comprising:

  • a cathodic compartment having a cathodic electrode;

    an anodic compartment having an anodic electrode;

    an energy reservoir (i) containing an electro-active material that stores electro-active ions, an electrolyte that contains the electro-active ions, and a redox mediator that is present in the electrolyte, and (ii) connected to either the cathodic compartment or the anodic compartment via an outlet for delivering the electrolyte from the energy reservoir to the cathodic compartment or the anodic compartment, and also via an inlet for returning the electrolyte from the cathodic compartment or the anodic compartment to the reservoir; and

    a separator that divides the cathodic compartment and the anodic compartment while allowing the electro-active ions to move therebetween.
