Problems solved by technology

In addition, the design of the public pipeline also has the self-discharge phenomenon of mutual leakage between the positive and negative electrodes, which is not conducive to the efficient and stable operation of the stack.
In the stack structure, both sides of the inlet and outlet of the electrode frame are covered with sealing gaskets to prevent internal leakage. These gaskets are deformed and elongated during the extrusion process, which will interfere with the inflow and outflow of the electrolyte. The distribution of liquid in each battery cell is uneven; in addition, when the number of battery cells increases, the distribution uniformity of this parallel liquid circuit method will decrease, which will affect the concentration polarization inside the battery. Fine-tuning the size of intersections to improve uniformity, complex design, and low assembly efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrode frame of a battery, and particularly designs an electrode frame structure of a redox flow battery. The side of the electrode frame is provided with an electrolyte inlet and outlet through hole, through which the electrolyte communicates with the flow channel in the electrode frame and flows through the electrode. This structure avoids the internal leakage caused by setting the common pipeline through-hole on the surface of the electrode frame. At the same time, the common electrolyte pipeline leading to each battery is set outside the stack, which makes it easy to evenly distribute the electrolyte and reduce the size of a single battery. The voltage difference between them improves battery performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the structure of a liquid flow battery, in particular to a way of entering and exiting an electrolyte in an electrode frame in a liquid flow battery. Background technique [0002] Renewable energy, as an indispensable energy component in the sustainable development of modern society, is attracting more and more attention from the governments of various countries, and has introduced powerful policies to encourage the development of renewable energy. In this context, the solar photovoltaic industry and wind power supporting industries have ushered in rapid development, and a large number of solar and wind energy facilities have been put into use. However, renewable energy generally has discontinuity and anti-peaking characteristics, which pose new requirements and challenges for grid connection. Energy storage technology is an effective means to solve this problem. Using energy storage technology as a buffer can effectively impr...
