Problems solved by technology

These separators have high ion conductivity, long life, good chemical and electrochemical stability, but high cost, and poor barrier performance to vanadium ions, which affects the cycle capacity of the battery
[0004] my country has not yet commercially produced ion separators suitable for vanadium batteries, and can only rely on imports
However, commercial separators still face a major problem, that is, the penetration of vanadium ions.
In actual use, the diaphragm cannot completely prevent the penetration of vanadium ions in the positive and negative electrolytic cells, so that the vanadium ions in the positive and negative electrolytic cells permeate each other, resulting in a decrease in battery capacity; at the same time, the migration of vanadium ions in the diaphragm will also drive water The migration of molecules will cause the imbalance of positive and negative electrolyte water, resulting in changes in the concentration of the electrolyte, which may cause unstable precipitation of the electrolyte and affect the battery life.

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrolyte diaphragm for a vanadium cell and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) soaking a porous polyfluortetraethylene film in a mixed liquid consisting of methanol and water to obtain a mixed liquid I; and (2) uniformly mixing the mixed liquid consisting of methanol and ethyl orthosilicate with the mixed liquid I obtained in the step (1), reacting, taking an obtained porous polyfluortetraethylene film out after reacting, drying in vacuum, and soaking into a proton conductive polymer solution to obtain the electrolyte diaphragm for the vanadium cell. In the electrolyte diaphragm for the vanadium cell provided by the invention, the using amount of the proton conductive polymer with high price is reduced on the whole, and the cost of the electrolyte diaphragm is lowered; and nano-silicon dioxide is added, so that the pore diameter structure of an ion film can be effectively controlled, the permeation of vanadium ions is reduced, and the conservation of cell capacity is facilitated.
