The invention relates to the field of alkaline redox flow battery energy storage, in particular to a preparation method of an ion exchange membrane for an alkaline redox flow battery, which is mainlyused for solving the problem of the high price of a Nafion diaphragm in the alkaline redox flow battery at the present stage, so that the cost of the redox flow battery is greatly reduced. An alkalineaqueous solution of ferricyanide (such as Na3[Fe(CN)6], K3[Fe(CN)6], (NH4)3[Fe(CN)6] and the like) is used as a positive electrolyte, and a strong alkaline solution (such as KOH, NaOH and the like) is used as a negative electrolyte; graphite felt and carbon felt are selected as positive electrode materials, and a zinc plate is selected as a negative electrode material; and the ionized sulfonatedpolyether ether ketone (SPEEK) diaphragm is used as an ion exchange membrane to assemble the battery. Therefore, the alkaline redox flow battery system with low cost and high performance is obtained.The flow battery system provided by the invention has the advantages of the high open-circuit voltage, the low cost, the high efficiency, the good cycling stability, safety, reliability and the like,and has a wide application prospect.
