Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of liquid flow batteries in energy storage technology, in particular to a gradient electrode used for a negative electrode of a deposition type liquid flow battery and its application. Gradient electrodes vary in porosity and / or number of deposition sites along a gradient in a direction perpendicular to the electrode surface, by having electrodes with high porosity and low number of deposition sites on the diaphragm side and low porosity on the bipolar plate side And the high number of deposition sites promotes the uniform deposition of active materials to the bipolar plate side during the charging process of the deposition-type flow battery, inhibits the growth of dendrites, and improves the charging capacity and cycle stability of the battery. The above electrodes can be applied to deposition type flow batteries using zinc, iron, copper, tin, cadmium or lead as active materials. When applied to a zinc-iodine flow battery, the capacity of zinc deposited per unit area on the negative side is as high as 280mAh / cm 2 , which is 6 times that of using traditional electrodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid flow batteries in energy storage technology, in particular to a gradient electrode used for a negative electrode of a deposition type liquid flow battery and its application. Background technique [0002] The development and utilization of renewable energy is an important measure to solve the problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution, and it is also an important part of my country's energy strategy. In recent years, renewable energy represented by wind and solar energy has been vigorously developed, but at present, there are still serious problems such as abandoning wind and solar energy worldwide. The reason for this problem is that renewable energy often has the characteristics of intermittent, fluctuating and time-varying, and the direct grid connection of the generated electricity will have a great impact on the safe and stable operation of the power grid. To solve this problem, ...
