Abstract

A light charging redox flow battery comprises a sensitized semiconductor electrode (1), a cathode electrolyte (7), an anode electrolyte (8), a diaphragm (2), a current collector (6), a liquid storagetank (4), a pump (3) and a liquid flow battery reaction chamber. By sensitizing semiconductor electrode, solar energy can be directly used to charge cathode electrolyte and anode electrolyte, and solar energy can be directly converted into chemical energy, which can be stored in liquid storage tank in the form of redox electrolyte, and can be reused in the form of electric energy at any time. Theinvention has the advantages of optimizing the combination of the existing dye-sensitized solar cell and the liquid-flow cell, not only having the advantages of light energy conversion function of thedye-sensitized solar cell, friendly environment and low cost, but also having the advantages of relatively independent output power and capacity of the liquid-flow cell, flexible system design and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light-charged redox flow battery, which belongs to the technical field of photoelectrochemical batteries. Background technique [0002] Energy issues have always been a major issue restricting the development of human society. With the depletion of fossil energy, new energy and renewable energy have attracted widespread attention. Solar energy has the advantages of environmental friendliness and abundant resources, and is considered to be the safest, greenest and most ideal alternative energy source. Dye-sensitized solar cells have the advantages of high photoelectric conversion efficiency, low cost, simple process, easy large-scale production and environmental friendliness, and have become a hot spot in solar energy research. Due to the influence of sunlight intensity and illumination time, the output power of solar cells is not very stable, so the large-scale introduction of solar photovoltaic power generation may cause t...
