Problems solved by technology

[0003] For example, the positive electrolyte of the existing alkaline zinc-iron flow battery uses an alkaline solution of ferrocyanide, and the negative electrolyte uses a solution of zinc salt or zinc oxide dissolved in a strong alkali. The electrolyte system During the operation of the battery, due to the inconsistent osmotic pressure of the positive and negative electrolytes, the water migration caused by ion migration is irreversible, resulting in serious electrolyte migration, which leads to a decrease in battery voltage efficiency, which in turn leads to attenuation of battery energy efficiency, which greatly increases the battery life. maintenance cost
At the same time, during the charging and discharging process of the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery, the deposition and dissolution of zinc on the negative side of the electrode will occur, and serious zinc dendrites or dendrite-like deposits will be generated when operating under high current density conditions. Crystals can pierce the separator, causing a short circuit in the battery
