Problems solved by technology

However, the structure is more complicated, the assembly is difficult, the cost is more expensive, and it is not conducive to industrialization
The patent "Battery unit frame for redox flow battery and redox flow battery" (application number: 02811590.2) jointly applied by Japan's Sumitomo Electric Industries Co., Ltd. and Kansai Electric Power Co., Ltd. mentions that the single-cell structure adopts the flow channel groove to place 0.1 ~0.3mm thick protective plate to protect the bipolar plate. During the actual assembly process, it is easy to deform and lose its protective effect, which seriously affects the efficiency and life of the battery.

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrode frame for a redox flow cell, in particular to an electrode frame structure for an all-vanadium redox flow cell, which is formed by fastening two frame bodies of which the shapes and sizes are completely same; a plane where the two frame bodies are mutually fastened is a fastening surface; and the fastening surface of at least one frame body is provided with afluid channel which is fastened into a border to form an embedded-structure electrolyte inlet and outlet channel. The structure increases the resistance of an electrolyte channel branch, reduces leakage current, avoids thermogalvaniccorrosion in charging and discharging processes, and prolongs the service life of the cell (stack).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrode frame of a redox flow battery, in particular to an electrode frame structure of an all-vanadium redox flow battery. Background technique [0002] Electric energy is difficult to store and indispensable. Its production must meet the demand for electricity at any time. Therefore, people have been looking for economical and feasible energy storage technologies to solve the contradiction between supply and demand and decouple the production of electric energy from demand. In addition, electric energy storage plays an important role in electric energy management, grid auxiliary services, voltage control, renewable energy utilization, and large-scale uninterruptible power supplies. If combined with large-scale thermal power generation, it can reduce the peak capacity of power stations, reduce power generation costs, and reduce pollution. If it is combined with renewable energy such as wind power and tidal energy, it can ...
