Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the cross-linking of vanadium ions and the continuous occurrence of side reactions, after a long-term operation of the battery, the vanadium ions in the negative electrode electrolyte may be mainly V 2+ , the vanadium ions in the positive electrolyte are mainly VO 2+ , resulting in an imbalance of the electrolyte in the positive and negative electrodes, and the electrolyte cannot continue to be used

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering a vanadium redox battery capacity. One or more of an organic oxidizing agent and an inorganic oxidizing agent are added into a vanadium redox battery negative electrode electrolyte as a raw material and divalent vanadium ions in the oxidizing agents and the negative electrode electrolyte undergo an oxidation reaction so that divalent vanadium ions are oxidized to form trivalent vanadium ions and a battery capacity is recovered. Through use of an appropriate oxidizing agent in the negative electrode electrolyte, divalent vanadium accumulation in battery operation is avoided, capacity attenuation is finally avoided and long-term operation of the battery and high efficiency utilization of the electrolyte are realized. The method has simple processes, can be operated simply, utilizes easily available raw materials and has a low cost and substantial effects.
