Problems solved by technology

Due to the characteristics of the zinc-based flow battery diaphragm itself, during the charge-discharge cycle, the active material of the positive electrode will leak through the diaphragm to the negative electrode, and the active material of the positive electrode will easily contact with the active material of the negative electrode, resulting in self-discharge of the battery. Reduce the discharge capacity of the battery and affect the performance of the battery
In addition, since the deposition position of the zinc negative electrode of the zinc-based flow battery is at the interface between the electrode and the separator, when the zinc accumulates to a certain extent, zinc dendrites will grow into the pores of the separator, which will cause the positive and negative electrodes to be short-circuited. Affect battery life
