Problems solved by technology

Commercialized perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membrane (trade name: ) The production process is complicated and the price is expensive (about 600-800 US dollars / square meter). -2 Under the condition of working current density, the Coulombic efficiency of the battery is only 76%, which seriously affects the performance of the flow battery.
The traditional anion exchange membrane has been proved to have poor alkali resistance stability in alkaline fuel cells, so it cannot meet the needs of long-term operation in alkaline zinc-based flow batteries
In addition, the charge-discharge cycle of alkaline zinc-based flow batteries is accompanied by dendrite growth and zinc accumulation, and the growing dendrites are easy to damage the separator.

Embodiment 1

[0068] Polyether ether ketone is directly sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid, and sulfonated polyether ether ketone resins with different sulfonation degrees (abbreviated as SK1, SK2, SK3) are prepared by controlling the sulfonation reaction time. The structural formula is as follows figure 2 , Sulfonation degrees are 0.70, 0.81, 0.91). Using DMAC as a solvent, the above resin was prepared into a film, and the hydroxide ion penetration test was performed on it. image 3 It can be seen that as the degree of sulfonation increases, the swelling effect of the membrane increases, and the penetration rate of hydroxide ions increases. The prepared sulfonated polyether ether ketone with different sulfonation degrees was used to assemble the alkaline zinc iron flow battery and tested. The test conditions are the same as the alkaline zinc iron flow battery assembled with perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membranes of different thicknesses. The battery test conditions are the sa...

Abstract

The invention relates to an application of a cation exchange membrane with a rigid chain segment structure in an alkaline zinc-based flow battery, in particular to an application of a sulfonated or carboxylated aromatic ion exchange membrane in the alkaline zinc-based flow battery. A benzene ring structure of the rigid chain segment of a main chain endows the membrane with good mechanical stability, and a sulfonic acid group or a carboxylic acid group of a side chain endows the membrane with high ionic conductivity; a sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid cation exchange group replaces a traditional quaternary ammonium anion exchange group; besides, the sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid cation exchange group carries negative charges and has a charge repulsion effect on active substances (negative electrode: Zn(OH)4<2->) in the alkaline zinc-based flow battery, so that the ion selectivity of the membrane for the active substances is greatly improved; the deposition of zinc dendrites along thedirection of the membrane can be effectively inhibited, and the damage of the zinc dendrites to the membrane is avoided, so that the cycle life of the alkaline zinc-based flow battery is greatly prolonged.
