Abstract

The invention relates to a bipolar plate for a liquid flow energy storage battery and a preparation method. The bipolar plate employs a carbon plastic composite plate with a thickness of 0.5-5mm as a matrix material. Conducting layers with a thickness of 1-1000 microns are coated on the surface of one side or surfaces of two sides of the matrix. The bipolar plate combines advantages of the carbon plastic composite plate and a graphite plate, decreases the contact resistance between an electrode and the bipolar plate, and finally decreases the Ohm internal resistance of the liquid flow energy storage battery. The bipolar plate raises the energy efficiency and the voltage efficiency of the liquid flow energy storage battery, and therefore the working current density is increased, thus weight, volume and cost of a battery with the same output power are all decreased.
