Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the alkaline system zinc-iron flow battery, the active substance in the positive electrolyte is ferricyanide or ferrocyanide, which will slowly decompose into iron hydroxide precipitation in a strong alkaline environment (pH>13) , resulting in a decrease in the concentration of active substances in the electrolyte, and at the same time, the precipitated ferric hydroxide will adhere to the surface of the electrode and separator, increasing the internal resistance of the battery, thereby affecting the long-term cycle stability of the stack, and limiting the flow battery of this system.

Abstract

The invention discloses an alkaline zinc-iron flow battery adopting a positive electrode electrolyte with tetraborate as an additive. The positive electrode electrolyte of the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery is prepared by taking one or more than two ferrous cyanide salts as active substances and tetraborate and the like as a buffer solution additive. The positive electrode electrolyte has the characteristics of simple preparation method, environment-friendly process and the like. Compared with an original positive electrode electrolyte prepared from pure ferrous cyanide salt, the positive electrode electrolyte has higher active substance concentration and higher active substance stability, and the conductivity of the electrolyte can be effectively improved by the higher active substance concentration, so that the cycle performance and the battery efficiency of the battery are improved, and the service life of the battery is prolonged. Meanwhile, the charge-discharge capacity and the energy density of the battery are greatly improved; and the long-time cycling stability of the battery can be improved by higher active substance stability.
