Abstract

The invention relates to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing, in particular to a novel bipolar plate for a vanadium battery and a preparation method for the bipolar plate, and solves the problems of high battery internal resistance, low energy efficiency and the like in the prior art. The bipolar plate consists of three parts, namely an electrode, a framework layer and an electrode; and the electrodes and the framework layer are adhered through conductive agents to form the integral bipolar plate for the vanadium battery. According to working requirements of the vanadium battery, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant polymer resin and conducting agents and electrodes are taken as the central framework layer, so that the bipolar plate having high conductivity, high strength and corrosion resistance is prepared; and the resistivity of the bipolar plate can reach 0.03-0.1 omega.cm, so that the power of the vanadium battery is improved. The bipolar plate provided by the invention has high conductivity and is in good contact with the electrodes; and by using the bipolar plate, the resistance of the vanadium battery is reduced, and the power of the vanadium battery is improved, so that the cost of the vanadium battery is reduced, and the reliability of the vanadium battery is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing, in particular to a novel bipolar plate for a vanadium battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Vanadium battery, the full name of vanadium ion redox flow battery, is a new type of green battery. The bipolar plate is one of the key components of the all-vanadium redox flow battery. It plays the role of connecting the positive and negative electrodes of different single cells and conducting the internal circuit of the battery. It is required to have good electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, chemical oxidation resistance and Electrochemical corrosion performance. At present, the bipolar plates that can be used in vanadium batteries include graphite plates: high cost, difficult processing, and small size; metal base: not resistant to corrosion, high cost; conductive plastic: low cost, poor conductivity, and low mechanical strength. To meet t...
