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 positive electrolyte may be mainly VO 2 + , the vanadium ions in the negative electrode electrolyte are mainly V 3+ , resulting in an imbalance of effective vanadium ions in the positive and negative electrolytes, and the electrolyte cannot be used normally

Abstract

The invention relates to an all-vanadium redox flow battery capacity recovery method and particularly aims at solving the problem that battery capacity is faded due to accumulation of positive pentavalent vanadium when an all-vanadium redox flow battery operates for a long time. According to the method, appropriate amount of ammonium ferrous sulfate can be added to a positive electrolyte in a battery charge and discharge random process, so the ammonium ferrous sulfate reacts with pentavalent vanadium ions in the positive electrolyte, the pentavalent vanadium ions are restored into tetravalent vanadium ions and a battery capacity is recovered. According to the method, the appropriate amount of ammonium ferrous sulfate is added to the positive electrolyte as reductant, the pentavalent vanadium accumulation problem when the battery operates for a long time, the capacity fading problem is finally solved, so the battery can operates stably for a long time and the electrolyte is efficiently utilized. The method is simple in technology, simple and convenient in operation, low in cost and remarkable in effect; and raw materials are simple and easy to get.
