Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of all-vanadium liquid flow battery electrolyte, and in particular to a method for preparing a high-stability all-vanadium liquid flow battery electrolyte. Background Art
[0002] As one of the most important components of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries, the performance and cost of the electrolyte can significantly affect the further development and promotion of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries.
[0003] At present, the research on all-vanadium liquid flow battery electrolyte mainly focuses on high-temperature stability, conductivity, material interaction between electrolyte and membrane and electrode, and cost. Specifically, (1) high temperature stability: high-valent vanadium ions are prone to deprotonation at high temperatures, resulting in the precipitation of vanadium ions, which in turn causes the capacity of the all-vanadium flow battery to decay rapidly. The cooling device currently used not only increases the energy consumption of the all-vanadium flow battery, but also reduces the efficiency at lower temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the high temperature stability of the electrolyte so that the all-vanadium flow battery can operate stably at higher temperatures. (2) conductivity: the conductivity of the electrolyte can affect the internal resistance of the battery, affect the energy loss of the battery, and then affect the voltage efficiency and energy efficiency of the battery. (3) material interaction between the electrolyte and the membrane and electrodes: during the operation of the all-vanadium flow battery, the active material enters the electrode surface from the electrolyte to undergo oxidation or reduction reactions, and protons are transmitted between the positive and negative electrodes through the membrane and participate in the chemical reaction. However, the diffusion of vanadium ions across the membrane will also cause the battery capacity to decay. (4) cost: the electrolyte accounts for a major part of the total cost of the all-vanadium flow battery, and the cost of the electrolyte will greatly affect the total cost of the battery.
[0004] Compared with the commonly used high-purity vanadium pentoxide, ammonium metavanadate has a significant price advantage. However, in the process of preparing electrolyte with ammonium metavanadate, high-temperature decomposition and extraction are often used to remove ammonium ions. These processes are not only cumbersome, but also require high temperature or organic solvents, which will increase the preparation cost of the electrolyte and cause environmental pollution. The high-temperature stability, conductivity, material interaction between the electrolyte and the membrane and electrode, and cost of the prepared electrolyte have not been significantly improved. At the same time, the residual reducing agent used in the process will cause the battery performance to decline. Summary of the invention

[0081] Comparative Example 1:
[0082] The method is the same as that of Comparative Example 1, except that the ammonium metavanadate is replaced by high-purity vanadium pentoxide.
[0083] Comparative Example 2:
[0084] The method is the same as that of Comparative Example 1, except that step S4 is not included.
[0085] Comparative Example 3:
[0086] The method is the same as that of Comparative Example 1, except that 2-imidazolidinone is not added in step S3.
[0087] The electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to charge and discharge cycle tests under the same working conditions, and the coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency, voltage efficiency and capacity retention rate after 50 cycles of the battery were recorded.

[0089]
[0090] It can be seen from the above table that compared with Comparative Example 1, Examples 1-5 have higher coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency, voltage efficiency and capacity retention rate after 50 cycles, mainly because high-purity vanadium pentoxide is used to replace ammonium metavanadate in the preparation process of the electrolyte in Comparative Example 1, while the electrolytes of Examples 1-5 use ammonium metavanadate as a raw material during the preparation process, and ammonium metavanadate is electrocatalytically oxidized to achieve the purpose of decomposing and controlling ammonium ions, and further regulate the amount of ammonium metavanadate added for the second time, so that the electrolyte contains an appropriate amount of ammonium ions, improves the conductivity and high-temperature stability of the electrolyte, reduces the transmembrane shuttling and high-temperature stability of vanadium ions, and improves the coulombic efficiency, voltage efficiency, energy efficiency and capacity retention rate of the battery; Compared with Comparative Example 2, Examples 1-5 have higher coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency, voltage efficiency and capacity retention rate after 50 cycles; Compared with Comparative Example 2, Examples 1-5 have higher coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency, voltage efficiency and capacity retention rate after 50 cycles. The capacity retention rate after the cycle is higher, mainly because the comparative example 2 does not perform the secondary oxidation process of step S4, so there will be some residual reducing agent and intermediate organic products, which will affect the capacity retention rate of the battery, and the present invention can effectively reduce the influence of reducing agent impurities on the prepared electrolyte by secondary oxidation of the electrolyte, thereby improving the stability of the electrolyte and the capacity retention rate; compared with comparative example 3, embodiments 1-5 have higher coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency and capacity retention rate after 50 cycles, mainly because the present invention can improve the material interaction between the electrolyte and the membrane and the electrode through the synergistic effect of 2-imidazolidinone and ammonium ions, effectively reduce concentration polarization and trans-membrane diffusion of vanadium ions, thereby improving the coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency and capacity retention rate of the battery.
