Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a seawater-activated battery monomer structure and a performance evaluation method. Background Art
[0002] As a power generation device with short energy storage time, low maintenance frequency, strong load capacity and high energy density, seawater-activated batteries have been widely used in many fields such as communications, lighting and special equipment. Among them, the key components of seawater-activated batteries are positive and negative electrodes and bipolar plates. The former is the place where electrochemical reactions occur, and the latter is to provide the electrolyte required for the electrochemical reaction, realize the electron transfer between the positive and negative plates, remove the by-products produced by the electrochemical reaction, and play a certain supporting role (maintaining uniform force on the positive and negative electrodes). Specifically, the bipolar plate uses the flow guide grooves engraved on it to guide the flow of electrolyte, ensuring that the electrolyte can be quickly and evenly distributed between the positive and negative plates, so that it can undergo electrochemical reactions and then discharge. If the design of the flow guide grooves is unreasonable, it will directly affect the flow characteristics of the electrolyte, causing uneven reactions at various locations of the electrodes, causing uneven current density distribution, resulting in low utilization of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, local overheating and other undesirable phenomena, thereby reducing the discharge performance of the battery. Therefore, the design of the bipolar plate flow guide grooves is directly related to the performance of the seawater-activated battery and the uniformity of the performance of each monomer in the battery module.
[0003] The bipolar plate flow guide structure in the existing seawater-activated battery monomer structure generally adopts a vertical channel type, that is, after the electrolyte flows in from the inlet, it is diverted to the first branch channel on both sides, and then flows into the positive and negative electrodes through the preset second branch channel perpendicular to the first branch channel, realizing the electron transfer between the positive and negative electrodes, and then discharging. Although this method can make the electrolyte flow between the positive and negative plates and release battery energy to a certain extent, in the actual application of seawater-activated batteries, the electrolyte has a 90° corner when it flows from the inlet into the first branch channel, and then there is also a 90° corner when it flows from the first branch channel into the second branch channel. The two large-angle deflections cause the electrolyte to violently hit the channel wall, causing the electrolyte molecular momentum to change sharply, resulting in uneven distribution of the electrolyte flowing between the positive and negative plates, which greatly affects the utilization rate of the positive and negative plates, and ultimately inhibits the energy efficiency of the battery body.
[0004] In summary, the study of the single-cell structure of seawater-activated batteries is an effective research method to further improve battery performance, and the current design methods for single-cell structures of seawater-activated batteries are still insufficient.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a seawater-activated battery monomer structure with uniform liquid supply, safety and reliability, simple structure and easy processing, as well as a corresponding performance evaluation method, is a key issue that needs to be solved urgently.
