Problems solved by technology

The former two cause environmental pollution due to the overflow of bromine element in the electrolyte on the positive electrode side, which restricts their large-scale application.
Due to the low solubility of vanadium ions, the all-vanadium system requires a high concentration of acid as a solvent, which will cause corrosion of electrodes and pipes
The electrolyte of the zinc-nickel system is a highly alkaline zincate solution, which requires a concentration of 6-14mol dm ‐3 Alkali is used as a solvent, which not only wastes resources, but also has more serious causticity of alkali

Abstract

The invention discloses a neutral zinc iron double fluid flow battery, a single cell comprises positive and negative electrode end plates, a collector, a positive electrode, a film, a negative electrode, positive and negative electrode liquid storage tanks, a pipeline and a pump, wherein the positive electrode is a porous electrode, the negative electrode is a deposition type electrode, a positive electrode electrolyte solution is a neutral K4Fe (CN) 6 solution, and a negative electrolyte solution is a neutral zinc-ion-containing; when in charging, the electrolyte solutions respectively pass through the positive and negative electrode liquid storage tanks to be respectively sent to the positive electrode and the negative electrode, K3Fe (CN) 6 is produced by oxidation reaction of active material K4Fe (CN) 6 in the positive electrode storage tank, and zinc ions are directly deposited in the form of elemental zinc in the negative electrode; when in discharge, K4Fe (CN) 6 is produced by reduction reaction of active material K3Fe (CN) 6 in the positive electrode electrolyte solution, and the elemental zinc is oxidized into zinc ions to return through the pump back to the negative electrode liquid storage tank. The positive and negative electrode electrolyte solutions are neutral solutions, overcome the corrosion problems caused by a strong acid and a strong alkali as support electrolytes in the traditional liquid flow battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of flow batteries, in particular to a zinc-iron flow battery. Background technique [0002] Electric energy is the energy that human beings rely on for survival. At present, electric energy mainly comes from fossil energy, and the excessive consumption of fossil energy not only causes energy shortage, but also emits a large amount of toxic and harmful gases, causing environmental pollution. Therefore, people began to pay attention to the development and utilization of renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy. However, due to the discontinuity and instability of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, if they are directly integrated into the grid, they will have an impact on the grid. Therefore, effective Utilizing these renewable energy sources requires efficient, cheap, safe and reliable energy storage equipment. On the basis of meeting the above conditions, the flow battery has become on...
