Abstract

The invention relates to a method for restoring the capacity of an all-vanadium redox flow battery, in particular to solve the problem of battery capacity attenuation due to the accumulation of pentavalent vanadium at the positive electrode during the long-term operation of the all-vanadium redox flow battery. This method can add an appropriate amount of ammonium ferrous sulfate to the positive electrode electrolyte in any process of charging and discharging the battery. Tetravalent vanadium ions restore battery capacity. The invention solves the problem of accumulation of pentavalent vanadium during long-term operation of the battery by adding an appropriate amount of ammonium ferrous sulfate as a reducing agent in the positive electrolyte, so as to finally solve the problem of capacity fading, and realize long-term stable operation of the battery and high efficiency of the electrolyte use. The invention has the advantages of simple process, convenient operation, simple and easy-to-obtain raw materials, low cost and remarkable effect.
