Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the positive electrode electrolytes used in alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries at home and abroad are prepared from a single active material. Although its chemical stability is excellent, the active material in the electrolyte is low, resulting in the battery's charge and discharge capacity and conductivity. The efficiency is low, which indirectly increases the cost of the electrolyte in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery and limits the industrialization prospects of the flow battery of this system
At the same time, since the cyanide complex of the active material di- and / or trivalent iron in the positive electrolyte has a large amount of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal cations, the osmotic pressure of the positive electrolyte is much higher than that of the negative electrolyte, making the battery Serious migration of positive and negative electrolytes during long-term operation affects the stability of the battery under long-term operation conditions

Abstract

The invention relates to an anode electrolyte for an alkaline zinc-iron redox flow battery and its application. One or two or more ferrocyanide salts are used as active substances, and crown ether substances or cryptand compounds are used as active substances. Additives, prepared positive electrode electrolyte. Compared with the original anode electrolyte prepared purely from ferrocyanide salt, the anode electrolyte has a higher active material concentration and lower cationic activity, and a higher active material concentration can effectively improve the conductivity of the electrolyte rate, thereby improving the cycle performance and battery efficiency of the battery, and at the same time greatly improving the charge and discharge capacity and energy density of the battery; lower cation activity can reduce the osmotic pressure of the electrolyte, inhibit the migration of the positive and negative electrolytes, and thus improve the efficiency of the battery. long-term cycle stability.
