Problems solved by technology

Recently, more and more researchers have begun to apply flow batteries to the field of electric vehicles. As a power battery, a flow battery only needs to replace the electrolyte, but the space occupied by a flow battery is large, the manufacturing cost is high, and The volume specific energy and weight specific energy of the battery system are also low
[0003] In addition, when it is necessary to increase the output power of the flow battery, multiple battery cells can be connected in series through bipolar plates to increase the output voltage, and the electrolyte between multiple battery cells must pass through multiple parallel electrolyte branch pipes and circulation. The pipelines are connected, so the electrolytes of different battery cells are connected in series to form an ion channel, which forms a closed loop with the electronic channel, generating leakage current and affecting the efficiency of the entire stack
Under the existing structure of flow batteries, because these problems cannot be effectively solved, the application of flow batteries is limited.

[0036] Example 2: Zinc-iron flow battery

[0037] Zinc-iron batteries are an improved system of chromium-iron batteries. The chromium-iron battery is the first liquid flow battery system, but the oxidation-reduction reaction of chromium is difficult and requires expensive catalysts; and the charging reaction of the negative electrode is a large amount of hydrogen evolution. Replacing the chromium anode with a zinc anode can solve these two problems, and the voltage of the battery will increase significantly, so the specific energy of the battery will also increase, and its charge and discharge reactions are as follows:

[0046] Example 3: Zinc-manganese flow battery

[0047] Zinc-manganese battery is one of the earliest invented and most widely used batteries. It was generally used in the field of dry batteries or storage batteries in the past. Since the positive electrode active material MnO 2 Under basic to slightly acidic conditions, the reduction products are all inert Mn 2 o 3 , so it cannot be recharged or is difficult to recharge. In addition, the potential of this reaction is low, and the number of electrons transferred is also small, which limits the specific energy of the battery. The invention adopts strong acid sulfuric acid as the electrolyte, and the discharge product is completely dissolved in water, so the charging operation can be carried out. The electrode reaction is:

[0048] positive electrode:

[0049] negative electrode:

[0050] The battery reacts as follows:

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-circulating flow liquid flow battery, which comprises battery cells. The battery is characterized in that the multiple battery cells are connected in series in turn through bipolar plates, each battery cell is provided with a positive electrolyte chamber and a negative electrolyte chamber which are completely closed on the four sides, and the positive electrolyte andthe negative electrolyte in each battery cell are sealed in the positive electrolyte chamber and the negative electrolyte chamber respectively. The non-circulating flow liquid flow battery of the invention omits structures such as an electrolyte storage tank, a circulating pump and a circulating pipeline, the space occupied by the whole liquid flow battery is greatly reduced, and the volume specific energy density of the non-circulating flow liquid flow battery is increased based on the volume of the whole liquid flow battery. At the same time, the mixing of the electrolyte in different battery cells through a circulating pipeline is avoided, and leakage loss caused by the formation of an ion channel is avoided.
