This invention belongs to the field of
energy storage and
flow battery technology, and relates to an iron-
chromium flow battery electrolyte Cr 2+ An in-situ online detection
system, method, and application for Cr concentration. The
system includes a detection battery module, an online spectral detection module, and a
data processing and
control unit. A characteristic
wavelength of 800 nm was selected, and the relationship between
absorbance and Cr was established. 2+ Concentration mapping model to eliminate Cr 3+ Interfering with and reducing Fe 2+
Impact on measurement; based on the
linear relationship between the rate of change of
state of charge and the rate of change of
absorbance at 800 nm, online measurement of Cr 2+ The
system enables real-time and accurate detection of
molar absorbance at different concentrations and temperatures. Measurements are taken online via a series Venturi tube or in situ via a liquid sampling and return
pipe connected to the side wall of the
electrolyte storage tank or pipeline. The liquid sampling and return
pipe allows for quick and fully sealed connection to the pipeline or
storage tank, minimizing interference and preventing Cr
contamination. 2+ Oxidation-induced measurement
distortion provides high-precision real-
time data support for monitoring
electrolyte charge, health status, and stack performance.
