Problems solved by technology

However, this material has poor electrical conductivity, in order to improve the conductivity, it is necessary to increase the content of conductive filler in the material
However, if the content of conductive filler is too high, the toughness of the composite board will be deteriorated, which is not suitable for stack assembly
At present, the matrix of carbon-plastic composite bipolar plates used in flow batteries is mostly polypropylene, which is relatively stable in the electrolyte of the sulfuric acid system. In the battery, due to its poor corrosion resistance, the composite plate will be partially ablated during the operation of the battery, and the mechanical properties will be greatly reduced, which will damage the battery life.

Abstract

The invention discloses a bipolar plate for flow batteries as well as preparation and an application of the bipolar plate. The bipolar plate is a carbon-plastic composite plate prepared from, in percentage by mass, 25%-35% of high-density polyethylene with the melt index being 2-10, 65%-75% of conducive filler and 0-2% of a lubricant or prepared from 25%-35% of high-density polyethylene with the melt index being 2-10 and 65%-75% of conductive filler. The bipolar plate solves the problems of poor halogen corrosion resistance and poor toughness of carbon-plastic composite bipolar plates taking polypropylene as a matrix as well as low conductivity of carbon-plastic composite bipolar plates, thus, the bipolar plate has high conductivity and good corrosion resistance and can reduce ohm internalresistance of flow energy storage batteries and prolong the service life of piles.
