Abstract

The invention provides a bipolar plate for flow batteries, which belongs to the flow battery field. The bipolar plate for the flow batteries is characterized in that the bipolar plate comprises an engineering plastic plate and dense graphite plates embedded in the center of the engineering plastic plate in a penetrating manner. Guide grooves for anolyte and catholyte to flow through are respectively formed on the front and the rear lateral surfaces of each dense graphite plate; and two ends of each guide groove are respectively connected with through-holes on the edges of the front and the rear lateral surfaces of the engineering plastic plate, so as to allow the electrolytes to flow through. The guide grooves are connected in series or in parallel or in a mixed connection of parallel and series. The ratio of the ridge width to the groove width of the guide groove ranges from 1:0.5 to 1:6. The engineering plastic plate and the dense graphite plate are matched in a step-shaped manner therebetween, connected in a cohesion manner and sealed. The number of the dense graphite plates is more than one. The bipolar plate makes full use of the pressure resistance of the engineering plastic plate and the electric conduction property of the dense graphite plates, overcomes the disadvantage that the graphite is fragile and crisp, avoids the internal and external leakage of electrolytes and realizes the engineering enlargement of the bipolar plates for the flow batteries.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric energy conversion and storage, in particular to a method for manufacturing a bipolar plate of a liquid flow battery. Background technique [0002] Using renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy to generate electricity is one of the important ways for human beings to obtain energy from nature in the future. Since the power generation of wind energy and solar energy varies significantly with day and night, it is difficult to maintain a stable power output. It needs to cooperate with a certain scale of power storage devices to form a complete power supply system to ensure continuous and stable power supply. Therefore, the development of energy storage systems with high power conversion efficiency, large storage capacity, and good economic performance has become the key to the development of renewable and clean energy. Among various forms of energy storage devices, such as water storage...
