Problems solved by technology

Cathode Fe 3+ / Fe 2+ The half-cell has good reversibility and fast kinetic characteristics, but Ti as the negative electrode 4+ / Ti 3+ Half-cell reaction speed is slow, easy to form TiO 2 Passivation layer; Cr as negative electrode 3+ / Cr 2+ When the half-cell is charged, hydrogen is easy to evolve, and Cr(III) ions are easy to form inner complex ions. These complex ions are relatively inert and reduce the Cr 3+ / Cr 2+ The redox reaction rate
Moreover, both Fe-Ti and Fe-Cr system flow batteries have cross-contamination of positive and negative electrolytes.
After long-term research, the Fe-Ti and Fe-Cr system flow batteries have been improved to a certain extent, but the cross-contamination problem of the positive and negative solutions has not been solved, so the battery has not been able to be practical in the end.
The existing problems of sodium polysulfide / bromine flow battery are: (1) the properties of the positive and negative electrolytes are different, and cross-contamination between the electrolytes after a period of time; (2) deposition of sulfur on the diaphragm; (3) hydrogen sulfide and Formation, volatilization and strong corrosion of bromine
[0008] However, there are three major disadvantages in the above two types of relatively mature flow battery systems: expensive ion exchange membranes must be used; it is difficult to suppress cross-contamination of positive and negative electrolytes; low energy
However, due to the continuous rise in the price of nickel, the positive electrode material used in the battery, it is currently more than 200,000 yuan / ton, which increases the cost.
On the other hand, in order to improve the solubility of zinc in the electrolyte, alkaline zinc-nickel single-flow batteries must use high-concentration KOH or NaOH solutions, and the cycle performance of the positive nickel hydroxide will decline rapidly in high-concentration lye.

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an acidic single flow battery which can be used for large-scale energy storage and power generation. Background technique: [0002] Electric energy is an important guarantee for the development of the national economy and an important foundation for the modern defense industry. The sufficient supply and efficient utilization of electric energy are of great practical significance. In order to achieve stable power supply, it is of great significance to develop efficient large-scale energy storage technology. In order to solve and improve the power supply problems in remote areas of our country, it is necessary to establish a distributed power supply system. The large-scale energy storage unit is the "power bank" of the distributed power supply system, which plays an extremely important role and is also one of the key technologies that must be effectively solved.
