Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the use of graphite lining has the following disadvantages: 1) the introduction of graphite lining can easily cause the liquid metal positive electrode to bulge under the action of surface tension, making the battery prone to short circuit; During the long-term use process, the violent fluctuation of the liquid metal at high temperature is easy to wear the graphite lining, resulting in the loss of the graphite lining; 3) The preparation requirements involved in the spectrally pure graphite lining And the preparation cost is high, which is not conducive to the popularization and application of technology, and the weight of the whole battery increases due to the spectrally pure graphite added between the stainless steel shell and the liquid metal, thereby reducing the energy density of the battery

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid metal batteries, and in particular relates to a positive current collector of a liquid metal battery with a concave-convex surface microstructure carbide coating. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in order to meet the requirements of large-scale energy storage in the power grid, Sodoway et al. proposed the concept of "liquid metal energy storage battery". The positive electrode material uses molten salt as the electrolyte, and self-assembles into a battery with a three-layer structure including the negative electrode, the electrolyte, and the positive electrode under the action of gravity. The battery has the advantages of high power density, high energy density, low energy storage cost, and long life, and has broad application prospects in the field of small and medium-sized distributed energy storage. [0003] Due to the high working temperature of the liquid metal battery (300-700°...
