Embodiment 1

[0019] The vanadium battery cathode electrolyte that lost 95% of its capacity was used as the raw material. The pentavalent vanadium ion in the cathode electrolyte was 1.24mol / L, the tetravalent vanadium ion was 0.06mol / L, and the volume of the cathode electrolyte was 110ml. During the flow of the electrolyte, 9 g of oxalic acid was added to the positive electrode storage tank. After 16 hours of reaction, the battery capacity recovered to 85.3% of the original capacity. The recovered electrolyte was tested by charge and discharge, and the Coulomb efficiency was 92.5%, the energy efficiency was 79%, and the voltage efficiency was 73%.

Embodiment 2

[0021] The vanadium battery cathode electrolyte that lost 50% of its capacity was used as the raw material. The pentavalent vanadium ion in the cathode electrolyte was 0.6mol / L, the tetravalent vanadium ion was 0.6mol / L, and the volume of the cathode electrolyte was 110ml. During the flow of the electrolyte, add 5 g of oxalic acid into the positive electrode tank. After 9 hours of reaction, the battery capacity recovered to 87.1% of the original capacity. The recovered electrolyte was tested by charge and discharge, and the Coulomb efficiency was 93%, the energy efficiency was 77%, and the voltage efficiency was 71.1%.

Embodiment 3

[0023] The vanadium battery cathode electrolyte that lost 95% of its capacity was used as the raw material. The pentavalent vanadium ion in the cathode electrolyte was 1.24mol / L, the tetravalent vanadium ion was 0.06mol / L, and the volume of the cathode electrolyte was 110ml. During the flow of the electrolyte, 18 g of sodium sulfite was added to the positive electrode storage tank. After 16 hours of reaction, the battery capacity recovered to 77% of the original capacity. The recovered electrolyte was tested by charge and discharge, and the Coulomb efficiency was 92.4%, the energy efficiency was 75%, and the voltage efficiency was 69.3%.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of battery application and energy restoration, in particular to a method for restoring battery capacity in situ. The method comprises the following steps: after a long-term charge-discharge use, taking positive electrolyte of a vanadium battery with a fading capacity as a raw material, adding an organic, inorganic or composite reductant into the positive electrolyte, and performing reduction reaction on the reductant and pentavalent vanadium ions in the positive electrolyte so as to reduce the pentavalent vanadium ions into tetravalent vanadium ions and restore the battery capacity. By adding a proper proportion of organic-inorganic reductant into the positive electrolyte, the capacity fading problem in a running process of the battery is solved and recycle of the battery electrolyte is achieved; and the method is simple in process, easy to operate, easy to obtain the raw material and obvious in effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of battery application and energy recovery, in particular to a method for recovering battery capacity in situ. Background technique [0002] Vanadium redox flow battery, referred to as vanadium battery. It is a new type of electrochemical energy storage system. Compared with traditional batteries, it has the characteristics of fast, large-capacity charge and discharge, low self-discharge rate and simple battery structure. It is suitable for large-scale storage of new energy such as wind and solar energy. The ideal form of power supply. The positive and negative electrolytes of vanadium batteries contain VO 2+ / VO 2 + with V 2+ / V 3+ The sulfuric acid solution of the redox couple is not only a conductive medium, but also an electroactive material for energy storage, and is the core of vanadium battery energy storage and energy conversion. The working principle of the vanadium battery is that the valence state of...
