Abstract

The invention discloses an organic phase electrolyte and an application thereof in a negative electrode of a redox flow battery. The organic phase electrolyte consists of active materials, a supporting electrolyte and an organic solvent, wherein the active materials are diphenyl ketone and a derivative thereof, anthrone and a derivative thereof, or dibenzoyl methane and a derivative thereof; the supporting electrolyte is selected from tetraethylammonium hexafluorophosphate, tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate, tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate or tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate; and the organic solvent is selected from acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, glycol dimethyl ether or ethylene glycol diethyl ether. The organic phase electrolyte disclosed by the invention has relatively low electrochemical potential and high electrochemical property; when the organic phase electrolyte is used as the negative electrode electrolyte of the redox flow battery for assembling an organic phase redox flow battery, relatively high open-circuit voltage can be realized, so that the energy density of the battery can be improved; and meanwhile, the capacity fading of the battery can be lowered, so that the cycle life of the battery can be prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of energy storage redox flow batteries, and in particular relates to an organic phase liquid flow battery negative electrode electrolyte. Background technique [0002] Redox flow battery (RFB) is considered to be one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies due to its advantages of low cost and high safety. By storing the electrolyte with dissolved actives in an external liquid storage tank, the energy capacity and power density are independently adjustable, thereby providing design freedom for RFBs of various power and energy storage scales. Although the traditional RFB has made significant commercial progress, the energy density of most RFB systems is less than 25Wh L -1 , limiting its further application. This is mainly due to the narrow electrochemical window of water as a solvent. In comparison, organic solvents have a wider electrochemical window and better electrochemical stability. The...
