[0045] Embodiment One

[0046] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a material resistance testing device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1 , the material resistance testing device mainly includes a groove body 10, the groove body 10 includes an anode groove body 101 and a cathode groove body 102, wherein the anode groove body 101 is internally provided with an anode plate 11, and the cathode groove body 102 is internally provided with a cathode plate 12. The anode plate 11 and the cathode plate 12 are used to connect a power supply to electrolyze electrolyte in the anode groove body 101 and the cathode groove body 102; further including a diaphragm 13, the diaphragm 13 is arranged between the anode groove body 101 and the cathode groove body 102, and a sample placing member 14 for placing a sample to be tested, the sample placing member 14 is arranged in the anode groove body 101 and / or the cathode groove body 102.

[0047] In the embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the left side is the anode tank body 101, in which an acidic electrolyte, such as vanadium electrolyte, can be added, and the right side is the cathode tank body 102, in which another acidic electrolyte, such as sulfuric acid solution, can be added. Since the anode plate 11 and the cathode plate 12 are used to connect the power supply to electrolyze the electrolyte in the anode tank body 101 and the cathode tank body 102, after electrolysis of the electrolyte, a reducing environment can be provided in the cathode tank body 102, and an oxidizing environment can be provided in the anode tank body 101, and the electrolyte in the cathode tank body 102 and the anode tank body 101 is acidic electrolyte itself, therefore, the test device of the embodiment can simultaneously provide acidic, reducing and oxidizing test environments, facilitate the smooth performance of the above various resistance tests of the material to be tested in the same device, and solve the defect that the test environment of the existing test device is relatively single.

[0048] In an example, the device shown can further include a cover plate 15 cooperating with the anode tank body 101 and / or the cathode tank body 102 for sealing the opening of the anode tank body 101 and / or the cathode tank body 102. After the anode tank body 101 and / or the cathode tank body 102 is sealed, on the one hand, the test environment in the tank body 10 is isolated from other external environments, so that the test result is more accurate; on the other hand, the cover plate 15 is provided, which can also ensure the safety of the test personnel during the test.

[0049] For example, the cover plate 15 in the embodiment can be a whole plate, the area of which is roughly equal to the opening area of the tank body 10 (the total opening area of the anode tank body 101 and the cathode tank body 102), which can simultaneously seal the anode tank body 101 and the cathode tank body 102; in addition, the cover plate 15 can also be divided into two parts, one part for sealing the anode tank body 101 and the other part for sealing the cathode tank body 102, and the sealing of the two areas is more independent and does not affect each other.

[0050] In an example, one side of the cover plate 15 is movably connected with one side of the anode tank body 101 and / or the cathode tank body 102, or the cover plate 15 is a separate structure separated from the anode tank body 101 and the cathode tank body 102.

[0051] For example, when one side of the cover plate 15 is movably connected with one side of the anode tank body 101 and / or the cathode tank body 102, referring to Figure 1 , the connecting edge E1 of the cover plate 15 is movably connected with the tank body 10, such as using hinges, shafts and the like, which are not specifically limited herein, and the other side of the cover plate 15, i.e. the moving edge E2, can rotate around the connecting edge E1 of the cover plate 15, thereby realizing the sealing and opening functions of the opening of the tank body 10.

[0052] When the cover plate 15 is a structure separated from the anode groove body 101 and the cathode groove body 102, that is, the cover plate 15 and the groove body 10 are independent of each other in structure, and there is no physical connection between them. The cover plate 15 is an independent accessory of the test device. When the cover plate 15 is needed during the use of the device, the cover plate 15 can be placed on the opening of the groove body 10 by a suitable method. Compared with the above-mentioned movable connection mode, the independent structure has the advantages that whether the test device needs the cover plate 15 can be determined according to the situation. When the cover plate 15 is not needed, the test device is simpler. The cover plate 15 of the movable connection mode has become one of the connected components of the test device, which exists whether it is used or not. The disadvantage of the independent structure is that the sealing effect of the independent cover plate 15 is not as good as that of the former.

[0053] In an example, the test device can also be provided with a breathing valve 16, which is arranged on the cover plate 15. When the test device has the cover plate 15, the groove body 10 forms a sealed structure. Some gas will be generated during the test of the device, which is not conducive to the discharge of the gas. Therefore, a corresponding breathing valve 16 needs to be arranged. Exemplarily, the breathing valve 16 can be arranged on the cover plate 15 on the cathode groove body 102 side, or on the cover plate 15 on the anode groove body 101 side, or on the cover plate 15 on both the cathode groove body 102 side and the anode groove body 101 side. It can be understood that the breathing valve 16 can be used for gas discharge during the resistance test, or other devices with similar functions can be used, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0054] In an example, the test device can also be provided with a liquid inlet valve 17, which is arranged on the cover plate 15. In the case of having the cover plate 15, the cover plate 15 is generally used to cover the groove body 10 before the electrolyte is added, so as to reduce the splashing of the electrolyte or the influence of the external environment. When the test device has the cover plate 15, the groove body 10 forms a sealed structure, and it is necessary to arrange a suitable liquid inlet to add the electrolyte. Therefore, a corresponding liquid inlet valve 17 needs to be arranged to add the electrolyte into the groove body 10 through the liquid inlet valve 17. Exemplarily, the liquid inlet valve 17 can be arranged on the cover plate 15 on the cathode groove body 102 side, or on the cover plate 15 on the anode groove body 101 side, or on the cover plate 15 on both the cathode groove body 102 side and the anode groove body 101 side. It can be understood that the liquid inlet valve 17 can be used to add the electrolyte into the groove body 10, or other devices with the same or similar functions can be used, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0055] In one example, the membrane 13 is a perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane. Perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membranes possess excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, electrochemical properties, and chemical stability, allowing them to be used under harsh conditions such as strong acids, strong alkalis, and strong oxidizing agents. They are not only used as a key component of proton exchange membrane fuel cells but also widely applied in vanadium batteries, water electrolysis for hydrogen production, electrochemical synthesis, gas separation, and electrochemical sensors. They serve as solid electrolyte membranes in various electrochemical cells that rely on cation selective conduction. In this embodiment, the membrane 13 divides the tank 10 into a cathode tank 102 and an anode tank 101, employing a perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane, enabling this testing device to be used under more demanding testing conditions such as strong acids and strong oxidation.

[0056] In one example, the sample holder 14 includes a mesh 141 and at least one sample cage 142, wherein the mesh 141 is disposed inside the anode tank 101 and / or the cathode tank 102, and the sample cage 142 is connected to the mesh 141.

[0057] In this embodiment, the sample holder 14 is the place where the sample to be tested is placed. To facilitate the flexible testing of one or more samples by this testing device, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this device can employ a combination of a mesh 141 and sample cages 142. The mesh 141 is tightly bonded to the anode plate 11 or cathode plate 12 for electrical conductivity. One or more sample cages 142 are provided within the mesh 141 to hold endurance test samples, with the number of sample cages 142 determined by the number of samples to be tested. Furthermore, the mesh 141 can be made of titanium, preferably with an iridium-tantalum coating, and the sample cages 142 can be made of the same material as the mesh 141. The titanium sample cages 142 are electrically connected to the anode plate 11, maintaining a continuously oxygen-evolving, strongly oxidizing environment within the sample cages 142.

[0058] In this embodiment, the size of the mesh 141 is generally comparable to the internal size of the anode mesh 101 or the cathode mesh 102, and its shape is also the same as the internal shape of the anode mesh 101 or the cathode mesh 102. If the internal shape of the anode mesh 101 or the cathode mesh 102 is a square prism, then the shape of the mesh 141 is also a square prism; if the internal shape of the anode mesh 101 or the cathode mesh 102 is a cylinder, then the shape of the mesh 141 is also a cylinder.

[0059] In one example, the sample cage 142 has a hanging ear 143, which is hung on the mesh 141. The sample cage 142 is easily and flexibly hung on the mesh 141 by the hanging ear 143. Figure 3 As shown, the hanging ear 143 can be set at one location or at multiple locations on the sample cage 143. The design of the movable hanging ear type sample cage 143 can meet the requirement of testing multiple samples at the same time.

[0060] In an example, the anode tank 101 and the cathode tank 102 can be respectively provided with liquid discharge valves 18 for discharging the solution. Of course, other similar devices capable of achieving the liquid discharge function can also be used in the present embodiment, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0061] In an example, the anode tank 101 and the cathode tank 102 are respectively provided with liquid level tubes 19. During the test, the volume of the solution in the tank 10 will change, and the liquid level tubes 19 provided in the anode tank 101 and the cathode tank 102 can observe the volume change of the solution therein, that is, effectively monitor the liquid level in the tank 10, and the volume change of the solution can be known through the change of the solution liquid level. For example, when the volume of the solution in the tank 10 is observed to be reduced through the liquid level tube 19, pure water can be added in time to maintain the volume of the solution.

[0062] In the present embodiment, the cover plate 15, the tank 10, the tank net 141 and the pipeline valve and the like can be PP, PVDF, PTFE and the like high polymer materials with high corrosion resistance.

[0063] The material resistance test device provided in the present embodiment is provided with a tank, a diaphragm and a sample placing member for placing a sample to be tested, wherein the tank comprises an anode tank and a cathode tank, the anode tank is internally provided with an anode plate, and the cathode tank is internally provided with a cathode plate; the anode plate and the cathode plate are used to connect the power supply to electrolyze the electrolyte in the anode tank and the cathode tank; the diaphragm is arranged between the anode tank and the cathode tank; and the sample placing member is arranged in the anode tank and / or the cathode tank, thereby being able to simultaneously meet the test requirements of the electrolyte resistance to acidity, oxidation resistance and reduction resistance of the material, especially the vanadium battery material.

[0064] Embodiment two

[0065] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method for using the material resistance test device according to an embodiment of the present application, and the method 400 shown in Figure 4 can be applied to the material resistance test device shown in Embodiment One, which comprises:

[0066] 410, respectively injecting electrolyte into the anode tank and the cathode tank, wherein the anode tank and the cathode tank are both injected with acidic electrolyte.

[0067] For example, using the above-mentioned test device, first close the cover plate 15, and then inject electrolyte into the cathode tank 102 and the anode tank 101 through the liquid inlet valve 17.

[0068] In one example, vanadium electrolyte is injected into the cathode tank 102, and 25-30wt% sulfuric acid solution is injected into the anode tank 101 for testing the resistance of vanadium battery materials.

[0069] 420, connecting the anode plate and the cathode plate to an electrolysis power source and passing an electrolysis current.

[0070] In one example, the current density of the electrolysis current can be 100-300mA / cm 2 The electrolysis time t is calculated by the following formula:

[0071]

[0072] In the formula, t is the electrolysis time, in seconds; C is the concentration of vanadium electrolyte, in mol / L; V is the volume of injected vanadium electrolyte, in liters; ā is the average valence of vanadium ions in the initial vanadium electrolyte, in mol / L; F is the Faraday constant, taking 96485.3 C / mol; and I is the electrolysis current, in A.

[0073] 430, stopping the power supply after the electrolysis process is completed, and placing the material to be tested (the sample to be tested) in the electrolyte in the anode tank and / or the cathode tank, wherein a reducing environment is provided in the cathode tank and an oxidizing environment is provided in the anode tank.

[0074] For example, the material to be tested is cut or cut into a sample of appropriate size, which is placed in the sample cage 142 of the cathode tank 102 and the anode tank 101 respectively, and the sample cage 142 is fixed to the tank mesh 141 of the cathode tank 102 and the anode tank 101 by the hanging ear 143, so that the sample to be tested is completely immersed in the solution, the cover plate 15 is closed, and the resistance test of the material is started.

[0075] 440, passing a test current to test the resistance of the material to be tested.

[0076] In one example, the current density of the test current is 10-20mA / cm 2 The electrolysis is continued until the end of the material resistance test. For example, the cathode is maintained near +2 valence by micro-current electrolysis, maintaining high reducibility.

[0077] Further, during the test of the sample to be tested, the electrolyte level in the anode tank 101 and / or the cathode tank 102 can also be monitored to supplement pure water to maintain the electrolyte volume.

[0078] For example, using the test device as described above, the liquid level in the tank 10 is monitored by the liquid level pipe 19, and pure water is supplemented by the liquid inlet valve 17 to maintain the solution volume.

[0079] In the embodiment, the cathode adopts vanadium electrolyte solution, the anode adopts sulfuric acid solution, the average valence of vanadium ions in the vanadium electrolyte in the cathode tank 102 is about +2 in a short time through preliminary large current electrolysis, a reducing environment is provided for material resistance test, and the solution system is maintained in the reducing state through continuous micro-current electrolysis; the sample cage 142 in the anode tank 101 is hung on the tank net 141 and in contact with the anode plate 11 for conduction, so that the sample cage 142 becomes the reaction place of anode electrolytic water, and the surface is enriched with strong oxidizing oxygen free radicals, thereby providing an oxidizing environment for material resistance test; meanwhile, the vanadium electrolyte and the anode acid solution are both acidic solutions, thereby providing an acidic environment for material resistance test. It can be seen that, by using the method provided in the embodiment, the test requirements of the material, especially the vanadium battery material, for acid resistance, oxidation resistance and reduction resistance of the electrolyte can be met at the same time.
