Abstract

The invention relates to the field of manufacturing of vanadium cells, particularly relates to an integrated electrode for a vanadium cell, and a preparation method thereof, and solves the problems of difficulty in high-current charging and discharging, low energy efficiency, large flow liquid resistance and the like in the prior art. High-molecular resin powder and an electrode are taken as raw materials, volatile resolvent is taken as dispersion medium, resin and the electrode are fully mixed under the action of stirring, and then suction filtration is performed until no resolvent can percolate; and the electrode mixed with the resin powder is placed in a drying oven for drying, then placed in a die for hot-forming, is put into resolvent after being taken out to have resin on the surface to be separated, and is dried in the drying oven so as to form the integrated electrode. According to the working requirements of the vanadium cell, the high-molecular resin and the electrode are prepared into the integrated electrode; and the resistivity can reach 0.01 to 0.1 Omega. cm, so that the physical resistance of the cell is lowered, the high-current charge-discharge capability and the energy efficiency of the vanadium cell can be improved, and the reliability of the vanadium cell can also be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing, in particular to an integrated electrode for a vanadium battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Vanadium battery energy storage systems are mainly used in power plants (power stations) for peak regulation to balance loads, large-scale photoelectric conversion, energy storage power for wind power generation, and as energy storage systems in marginal areas, uninterruptible power supplies or emergency power systems. It is the ideal energy storage battery that is most likely to partially replace the lead-acid energy storage battery at present. The industrialization of high-power vanadium batteries as a green energy storage technology will promote the large-scale utilization of wind energy, solar energy, etc., and make my country's renewable energy industry enter the leading stage. It can save energy through the "peak valley" mediation of electricity consum...
