Problems solved by technology

[0008] The disadvantage of the above two cases of granulation first and then extrusion is that the composite material needs to be processed twice, and each time it needs to be heated to melt the material; the second heating and processing will greatly increase the degree of degradation of the polymer resin, affecting the bipolar The service life and mechanical strength of the plate also have a great influence on the battery performance of the bipolar plate
Although this technology reduces the surface resistance of the bipolar plate to some extent, the carbon particles on the surface are easy to fall off, which will block the flow channel of the electrolyte of the flow battery and pollute the electrolyte, so it is not suitable for the application of vanadium batteries.
[0010] To sum up, in the case that graphite plates cannot meet the needs of vanadium battery bipolar plates, a lot of research work has been done on the development and research of composite bipolar plates, but none of them have excellent performance indicators and can be used in vanadium batteries for a long time. Bipolar plate products suitable for large-scale production

preparation example Construction

[0031] In the preparation raw materials of the polymer composite bipolar plate, the polymer resin is the basic component of the bipolar plate, which can affect the resistivity and toughness of the bipolar plate. In the present application, the content of the polymer resin is 30wt% to 59wt%, in some specific embodiments, the content of the polymer resin is 32wt% to 50wt%, in some specific embodiments, the The content of the polymer resin is 36wt%-45wt%, more specifically, the content of the polymer resin is 36.5wt%, 38wt%, 38.5wt%, 39.5wt%, 42wt% or 44.5wt%. In the present application, if the content of the polymer resin is too large, the resistivity of the bipolar plate is too large, and then the performance of the battery is reduced; if the content of the polymer resin is too small, it will bring great difficulties to the processing of the bipolar plate. It is a big problem, and the toughness of the bipolar plate drops sharply. The polymer resin described in the application ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid flow energy storage batteries, in particular to a polymer composite bipolar plate, a preparation method thereof and a vanadium flow battery. Background technique [0002] Vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) is a new type of green large-scale energy storage battery, which has the advantages of independent capacity, high power, long life and easy operation. The bipolar plate is one of the key components of the flow battery, which plays the role of connecting the positive and negative electrodes of different single cells and conducting current. [0003] The electrolyte in VRB is a sulfuric acid solution of vanadium ions, which is highly corrosive; at the same time, V 5+ It has strong oxidizing properties, so in addition to good electrical conductivity, the bipolar plate must also have strong chemical and electrochemical corrosion resistance. The pure graphite bipolar plate currently used is expensive,...
