Problems solved by technology

However, at present, zinc-iodine flow batteries use expensive perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membranes. This type of membrane material is not only expensive, but also easily polluted in the neutral electrolyte solution system, which increases the internal resistance of the battery and leads to poor cycle performance. (<40 cycles)
In addition, the electrolyte solution used in zinc-iodine flow batteries is based on ZnI 2 Mainly, the ionic conductivity of this type of membrane in the electrolyte system is poor, and the electrolytes of the positive and negative electrodes are unstable under high current density and long cycle, and are prone to precipitation, which greatly affects the cycle stability of the battery; in addition, currently The reported working current density of zinc-iodine flow battery is only 10mA / cm 2 , low battery power density

Abstract

The invention relates to a zinc-iodine liquid flow battery. The positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte are the same, both being a mixed aqueous solution of iodine salt and zinc salt, and the separator is a porous membrane without ion-exchange groups. Both positive and negative electrolyte solutions are neutral, which overcomes the corrosion problem of strong acid and strong alkali electrolytes in traditional flow batteries. The battery has high energy density, high current density, long cycle life, and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of flow batteries, in particular to the field of zinc-iodine flow batteries. Background technique [0002] With the continuous reduction of fossil energy and the increasing environmental pollution, the development and utilization of renewable energy is particularly important, but the general renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy is difficult to use directly due to its discontinuity and instability, so Using energy storage technology to achieve continuous supply of renewable energy is the key to solving the problem. Flow batteries have become the most promising large-scale energy storage devices due to their advantages of separating power and energy and not being restricted by geographical environment. [0003] At present, the relatively mature flow batteries mainly include all-vanadium flow batteries, zinc-bromine flow batteries, sodium bromide polysulfide, etc., but the cost of all-vanadium flow batt...
