specific Embodiment approach

[0028] The following is a specific embodiment, and the preparation of the composite electrode includes the following steps:

[0029] 1. Thermoplastic polymer plasticization: Weigh the thermoplastic polymer at 150-200°C and plasticize it with a double-roll rubber mill for 5-10 minutes to make it into a uniform sheet.

[0030] 2. Composite conductive material: 5-10 parts of conductive graphite powder, 30-60 parts of conductive carbon black, and 20-40 parts of conductive carbon fiber are mixed evenly.

[0031] Conductive carbon fiber can be divided into: cellulose-based (rayon-based); polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based; pitch-based, of which polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber is the fastest growing and most widely used.

[0032] The properties of several common conductive carbon fibers are shown in Table 1:

Abstract

The invention relates to a composite electrode used in vanadium redox flow batteries and a preparation method thereof, pertaining to the vanadium battery manufacturing field. The composite electrode is prepared by adding three conductive fillers (conductive acetylene carbon black, conductive carbon fiber and graphite) into thermoplastic polymer to obtain a thermoplastic conductive plate which is compounded together with a graphite felt. Part of the conductive carbon fiber in the graphite felt is embedded into the surface of the conductive plate to form an interpenetrating conductive network and improve the conductivity of the whole product. Therefore, the composite electrode has excellent mechanical performance and conductivity (volume resistivity is less than or equal to 0.1omega question mark cm), integrates current collector and electrode into a whole, and effectively reduces surface resistance between the current collector and the electrode; meanwhile, during the process, no additional additive which can improve conductivity is used, thus ensuring relatively good conductivity and mechanical performance, and avoiding the falling of the additive which can improve conductivity into the electrolyte of a vanadium battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a composite electrode for an all-vanadium redox flow battery and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing. technical background [0002] The electrode materials currently used in vanadium batteries mainly include metal electrodes such as gold, titanium, lead, titanium-based platinum and iridium oxide, and non-metal electrodes such as carbon and graphite. The research results show that the cost of metal electrodes is too high, and they are prone to passivation after long-term use, which reduces battery performance; the etching phenomenon of non-metallic single electrodes is serious. The polymer conductive composite electrode is a new type of vanadium battery electrode with good electrochemical performance and not easy to be etched. It is made by adding another conductive filler or conductive polymer to the polymer material to obtain a polymer conductive composite material, and then ...
