Problems solved by technology

This method does not require additional introduction of acid into the electrode, but the acid content in the electrode is affected by the structure of the membrane and electrode and the redistribution of phosphoric acid, so the acid content in the electrode is uncertain
And too high acid content in the membrane is easy to damage the mechanical properties of the membrane and cause gas permeation, which in turn leads to a decrease in the long-term operation stability of the battery.
