Abstract

The invention relates to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing, and in particular relates to a bipolar plate for a vanadium battery and a preparation method thereof. A thermal spraying method isselected, first, a resin layer is respectively sprayed on both sides of carbon cloth, after curing, a conductive layer is respectively sprayed on both sides of the resin layer, and the bipolar plateis molded by heat-pressing on a hot press. The method solves the problems that in the prior art the bipolar plate has low mechanical strength, poor corrosion resistance, large body resistance to causelarge internal resistance of the battery, poor battery performance, and the like. Compared with the prior art, the bipolar plate of the vanadium battery prepared by the method adopts the carbon clothas a skeleton material, the mechanical strength and the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate are improved, the carbon cloth is a carbon material, and the electric conductivity is good, and the conductivity of the bipolar plate are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vanadium battery manufacturing, in particular to a bipolar plate for a vanadium battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Vanadium battery, the full name of vanadium ion redox flow battery, is a new type of green battery. The cycle efficiency of the battery can be improved in many ways, for example: reducing the internal resistance of the battery. The bipolar plate is one of the key components of the all-vanadium redox flow battery, which must be balanced in terms of mechanical strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity. A lot of research has been done on how to improve the bipolar plate, such as: a new type of bipolar plate and terminal electrode with a resistivity of 0.5Ω.cm polyethylene, and a copolymer of PP and SEBS with a resistivity of 0.1Ω.cm has also been used in experiments tested in a vanadium battery. The bipolar plates used in the prior art have low mechanical s...
