Problems solved by technology

With the increase of the current density in the charging and discharging process, this voltage deviation will increase exponentially, and the voltage inhomogeneity between the single cells will cause the flow battery system to make the first and last electrodes of the stack in the long-term operation. Occurrence of different degrees of overvoltage phenomenon and burnout, resulting in a decrease in the overall efficiency of the battery system, and the battery stack is scrapped and cannot be used

Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1 The first and last cells use bipolar plates with higher conductivity

[0030] Voltage range test method: Connect the assembled cell stack with the electrolyte circulation system and the battery management system, charge and discharge it at a fixed current density, and record the last charge after multiple charge and discharge cycles. The voltage of the discharge cycle is extremely poor. The specific method is to record the actual voltage value of each single battery when the battery is charged to a certain voltage value during the charging process (for example: the all-vanadium redox flow battery is 1.50V average voltage multiplied by the number of single cells), and all The voltage difference between the two single cells with the maximum voltage and the minimum voltage in the single cell is the voltage range of the stack at the corresponding current density.

Abstract

The invention discloses a redox flow cell stack. The redox flow cell stack is formed by connecting a plurality of single batteries in series, wherein each single battery comprises a bipolar plate, an electrode, an electrode frame and an ion conduction film, and in the cell stack, a part structure comprising the single battery at an initial section and / or a tail section is different from a part structure comprising other single batteries. By improving the structures of the batteries at the initial section and the tail section, the bipolar plate of the single battery at the initial section or the tail section is changed to a material with relatively small conductivity and relatively large roughness, the ion conduction film of the battery at the initial section or the tail section is changed to a film material with relatively small resistance and more excellent performance, so that the voltage range of the refox flow cell stack is effectively reduced, the voltage consistency of the single battery in the cell tack is greatly improved, the unfavorable influence on a battery system due to long-term running of the cell stack in a relatively high voltage range is prevented, and the long-term running stability of the battery system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of manufacturing liquid flow batteries, in particular to a liquid flow battery electric stack. Background technique [0002] The increasing demand for traditional energy in the development of modern economy and society has made the problem of insufficient supply increasingly prominent. People have to look for renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy. In recent years, new energy represented by wind energy and solar energy has occupied a place in energy supply. With the increase of demand, the proportion is still increasing, but it is affected by the weather. The contradiction between supply and demand that causes intermittent power generation is relatively prominent, and the development of large-scale energy storage is imperative. [0003] As a way of large-scale energy storage--the production and development of flow batteries provide a good supplement for the above-mentioned defects of new energy sources...
