Problems solved by technology

First of all, the ion concentration of the electrolyte is low, the energy density of the battery is low, and the large liquid volume will cause a large mechanical loss when the electrolyte flows, reducing the circulation flow efficiency
Secondly, the electrolyte uses a sulfuric acid solution of vanadium ions, which is highly corrosive and toxic.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of batteries, in particular to a liquid flow battery. Background technique [0002] Since the concept of liquid flow battery was proposed in 1974, it has attracted widespread attention due to its many advantages. [0003] Liquid flow batteries are different from the solid-state active materials of ordinary batteries that are contained in the positive and negative electrodes. The positive and negative active materials of the liquid flow battery, both or one of them, are in the electrolyte contained in the liquid storage tank, and the electrolyte It flows through an inert solid electrode, and oxidation and reduction reactions occur on the surface of the inert solid electrode. Most of the flow batteries currently studied are all-vanadium flow batteries. [0004] However, the all-vanadium redox flow battery has the following disadvantages. First of all, the ion concentration of the electrolyte is low, the energy densit...
