Abstract

The invention relates to the field of manufacturing of vanadium cells, in particular to a method for preparing a bipolar plate of a vanadium cell, and solves the problems that the degree of mixing uniformity of materials is difficult to ensure, the resistivity of a polymer-carbon black composite bipolar plate is very high, the surface resistance of the bipolar plate is increased due to electrochemical corrosion and the like in the prior art. In order to solve the problems, according to the working requirement of the vanadium cell, a carbon fiber electrode with high corrosion resistance is taken as a conductive material to prepare the bipolar plate of the vanadium cell which is high in electric conductivity and simple in manufacturing procedure. The bipolar plate comprises a resin plate and an electrode; and the resin plate and the electrode are thermally pressed and molded to facilitate resin to completely permeate to the electrode so as to prepare the bipolar plate of the vanadium cell. According to the method, the resin is injected to the electrode to serve as a framework material, so that the conductivity is approximate to that of a graphite felt, the electrochemical corrosion resistance is high in the using process, the resistance is not increased and the reliability of the vanadium cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing, in particular to a method for preparing a bipolar plate for a vanadium battery. Background technique [0002] Vanadium battery, the full name of vanadium ion redox flow battery, is a new type of green battery. The bipolar plate is one of the key components of the all-vanadium redox flow battery. It plays the role of connecting the positive and negative electrodes of different cells and conducting the internal circuit of the battery. It is required to have good electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, chemical oxidation resistance and electric resistance. Chemical corrosion performance. The optional materials mainly include metal bipolar plates, pure graphite bipolar plates and polymer-carbon composite bipolar plates. Due to the price and corrosion resistance of metal bipolar plates, they are rarely studied and used. Pure graphite bipolar plates are easily broken during proces...
