Embodiment 1

[0037] An Fe / Cr system liquid-phase flow battery stack is composed of 40 single cells connected in series, and each single cell includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a diaphragm, a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte, and the iron-chromium redox flow battery is respectively Fe in different valence states 2+ / Fe 3+ , Cr 2+ / Cr 3+ As the redox of the positive and negative poles of the battery, the positive and negative electrolytes are stored in two liquid storage tanks respectively, and the active electrolyte is driven by an acid-resistant liquid pump to the reaction site (battery stack) and then returned to the liquid storage tank to form a cycle. Liquid flow circuit to realize the charging and discharging process. Both sides of the cell stack are clamped by end plates 1, and there are cell stack interfaces 1 on the end plates, which are positive electrolyte inlet, negative electrolyte inlet, positive electrolyte outlet, and...

experiment example 1

[0052] Experimental example 1: Runner structure test

[0053] A single cell was assembled from battery components of the same size as in Example 1, and the end plates were made of transparent plastic for easy observation. The flow channel on the plate frame includes a shared channel, two parallel serpentine flow channels, an equalizing groove, a flow equalizing bell mouth and a flow equalizing groove, but there is no equalizing island in the middle of the equalizing groove. The circulation pump is used to drive the electrolyte to enter the single cell through the shared channel, and enter the serpentine flow channel through the flow channel inside the plate. The terminal of the serpentine flow channel is divided into 4 bell mouths, so the flow of electrolysis into the bell mouth is uneven. Causes uneven distribution of electrolyte on the carbon felt (electrode).

Embodiment 2

[0055] An Fe / Cr system liquid-phase flow battery stack is composed of 50 single cells connected in series, and each single cell includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a diaphragm, a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte, and the iron-chromium redox flow battery is respectively Fe in different valence states 2+ / Fe 3+ , Cr 2+ / Cr 3+ As the positive and negative poles of the battery redox. The stack structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0056] Positive plate frame size: length 650mm, width 460mm, thickness 11mm.

[0057] Negative plate frame size: length 650mm, width 460mm, thickness 7mm.

Abstract

The invention provides a liquid flow frame of a Fe / Cr flow battery and an electric pile consisting of the liquid flow frame. A runner for flowing of an electrolyte is formed in the liquid flow frame and comprises a sharing channel, two snakelike runners, uniform-distributing tanks, horn mouths and uniform-flowing tanks, wherein the electrolyte flows into single batteries through the sharing channel and flows into the snakelike runners through runners in a pole plate, multiple horn mouths are formed in the tail end of each snakelike runner, and all the horn mouths are communicated to the uniform-flowing tanks. A battery pile is formed by multiple single batteries through series connection, wherein each single battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a diaphragm, a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte, the positive electrode consists of a bipolar plate and a carbon felt and is arranged in the liquid flow frame, and four sides, opposite to the liquid flow frame, of the bipolar plate are surrounded by a package type sealing structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of batteries, and in particular relates to a liquid-phase fluid battery stack. Background technique [0002] The liquid flow battery is a new type of battery, which is a high-performance battery that uses the positive and negative electrolytes to separate and circulate separately.
