Abstract

The invention provides a photoelectrochemical energy storage battery using a vanadium compound as an electroactive substance. When the battery is charged, photoelectrochemical reaction (Photoelectrochemical Reaction) is used to convert light energy into chemical energy and store it in the activity of the battery electrolyte. When the battery is discharged, an electrochemical reaction occurs to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The invention couples the photoelectrochemical battery with the liquid flow battery, overcomes the inability of the solar battery to realize electric energy storage, realizes the in-situ conversion, storage and controllable utilization of solar energy, and has a simple system structure, low cost, and easy miniaturization; Scale-up, suitable for solar-energy storage-power generation processes of different scales.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photoelectrochemical energy storage battery with a vanadium compound as an active material, more specifically, a photoelectrochemical energy storage battery that couples a photoelectrochemical battery with a flow battery, and belongs to the field of photoelectrochemical battery and liquid flow battery. The intersection of batteries. Background technique [0002] The depletion of fossil energy and environmental pollution are two major problems facing the development of human society. In order to solve the above problems, on the one hand, it is necessary to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve energy utilization; on the other hand, it is necessary to develop and utilize renewable energy. But the former can only treat the symptoms, while the latter fundamentally solves the problems of energy crisis and environmental pollution. The renewable energy that has been developed at this stage mainly includes solar energy, wind e...
