Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of liquid flow battery energy storage, and more specifically, relates to a method for preparing a high-solubility sulfonated improved aqueous iron-based liquid flow battery electrolyte, which can be used in electric vehicles, public utility backup power supplies, and large-scale energy storage fields, etc. Background Art

[0002] With the growth of the global population and economic development, human demand for energy continues to increase. However, the exploitation and use of traditional fossil energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas have caused serious environmental pollution and climate change. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development, it is imperative to replace traditional fossil energy with renewable energy. In the context of the "dual carbon" era of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, renewable energy technology has made great progress. Renewable energy represented by wind power and solar power generation is widely favored, the installed capacity and total power generation continue to grow, and the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption continues to increase. However, wind power and solar power generation are easily affected by environmental factors and have non-steady-state characteristics of randomness, intermittency, and volatility. In order to ensure the safe operation of the power grid, balance the supply and demand of energy, enhance the value of new energy, and improve the consumption of new energy, it is crucial to develop various energy storage technologies. The existing new energy storage technologies mainly include: liquid flow battery energy storage, lithium-ion battery energy storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage and other new energy storage technologies. The above various energy storage technologies are constantly developing and improving, providing important technical support for the large-scale development of new energy.

[0003] Compared with other energy storage technologies, the advantages of liquid flow battery energy storage technology are: (1) decoupling of power and capacity: the energy storage active materials and electrodes of liquid flow batteries are independent of each other, and the power and capacity can be flexibly adjusted as needed. The specific operations are as follows: the power of the liquid flow battery can be increased by increasing the number of single cells and the electrode area, and the capacity of the liquid flow battery can be increased by increasing the concentration or volume of the electrolyte; (2) long cycle life: during the charging and discharging process of liquid flow batteries, there is no phase change involved, and deep discharge can be performed. The cycle life can reach 20,000 to 30,000 times, and the service life can reach more than 20 years; (3) high safety: the positive and negative active materials of the liquid flow battery are stored in the positive and negative electrolytic storage tanks respectively, and self-discharge will not occur. The heat generated by the battery can also be taken away by the flowing electrolyte, avoiding damage to the battery structure or even combustion due to battery heating.

[0004] The electrolyte contains active substances that undergo redox reactions and is one of the key materials for flow batteries. It should meet the following requirements: (1) high stability; (2) high solubility; (3) high reactivity; and (4) wide potential range. Iron is the second most widely distributed metal element on Earth and ranks fourth in the element distribution sequence, only after oxygen, silicon, and aluminum. It is easy to obtain and inexpensive. Although the standard electrode potential of iron is only 0.77 V, different ligands can form complexes with iron, causing the electrode potential of the electrode reaction to shift in the positive and negative directions, thereby improving the reversibility of the battery and being used to form an all-iron flow battery. The iron-based electrolytes prepared by current technology usually have low solubility and poor stability of the complexes, which leads to precipitation of active substances and ion crosstalk during battery operation, resulting in decreased battery performance. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new type of negative electrode electrolyte to improve the solubility and stability of flow batteries. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem of low solubility of iron-based flow battery electrolyte, the present invention uses asymmetric sulfonated ligands to chelate iron elements to synthesize a new type of high-solubility iron-based flow battery electrolyte, and the active material concentration can reach more than 1.3M at room temperature. The electrolyte is compatible with ferrocyanide and can provide a voltage of more than 1.3V. While maintaining high solubility, it shows excellent cycle stability, creating new possibilities for the development and application of flow battery technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-solubility sulfonated improved aqueous iron-based liquid flow battery electrolyte, characterized in that the main components of the electrolyte are iron salt, chelating agent, supporting electrolyte, and auxiliary electrolyte; the chelating agent is one of 3-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (TAPSO) or its derivative chemicals, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS) or its derivative chemicals, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminoethanesulfonic acid (TES) or its derivative chemicals, or a mixture of multiple thereof.

[0008] The concentration of the iron salt in the electrolyte C 1 is 0.1 to 2.0 mol / L, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mol / L; the concentration of the chelating agent C 2 0.5~4.0mol / L, preferably 0.5~2.0mol / L; wherein C 1 :C 2 =1:1~1:1.5. The supporting electrolyte concentration C 3 is 0.1 to 8.0 mol / L, preferably 1.0 to 6.0 mol / L; the auxiliary electrolyte concentration C 4It is 0 to 2.0 mol / L, preferably 0.2 to 1.0 mol / L.

[0009] The iron salt is a divalent iron salt or / and a trivalent iron salt, and further is one of ferrous sulfate / ferrous iron, ferrous nitrate / ferrous iron, ferric chloride / ferrous iron, ferric acetate / ferrous iron, or a mixture of multiple thereof.

[0010] The derivative chemicals of TAPSO are sodium 3-trihydroxymethylamine-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate and potassium 3-trihydroxymethylamine-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate; the derivative chemicals of TAPS are sodium tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminopropanesulfonate and potassium tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminopropanesulfonate; the derivative chemicals of TES are sodium tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminoethanesulfonate and potassium tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminoethanesulfonate.

[0011] The supporting electrolyte includes but is not limited to potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or a mixture thereof. The auxiliary electrolyte is a neutral salt compound, including but not limited to one or a mixture of ionic compounds such as ammonium salts, sodium salts, potassium salts, lithium salts, etc., including but not limited to one or a mixture of potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate, and ammonium sulfate. The pH value of the electrolyte is 10.0 to 13.9.

[0012] The negative electrode electrolyte configuration method comprises:

[0013] Add iron salt, chelating agent and supporting electrolyte to the reactor from which air has been exhausted, mix and add deionized water to fully dissolve; then dissolve an appropriate amount of auxiliary electrolyte; and finally adjust the volume to the target volume.

[0014] The high-solubility sulfonated improved aqueous iron-based liquid flow battery electrolyte is characterized in that the operating temperature of the iron-based liquid flow battery electrolyte is between 20 and 80°C.

[0015] A water-based iron-based liquid flow battery, wherein the negative electrode electrolyte adopts the above-mentioned high-solubility sulfonated improved water-based iron-based liquid flow battery electrolyte, and the positive electrode electrolyte includes ferrocyanide, such as potassium ferrocyanide, sodium ferrocyanide, etc.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages and beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Chelating agents TAPSO, TAPS, and TES, due to the asymmetry of the structure and the introduction of sulfonic acid groups, can form multiple hydrogen bonds and other interactions (such as van der Waals forces) with surrounding water molecules, thereby enhancing the interaction with water and thus improving solubility.

[0018] 2. The ligand introduced in the present invention has multiple coordination sites and can form a stable coordination structure with the iron element, thereby improving the stability of the electrolyte, keeping the solution in a uniform state without precipitation of iron hydroxide, and effectively improving the operating stability and cycle life of the battery.

[0019] 3. The iron and chelating agent used in the present invention are both relatively abundant and low-cost materials. Compared with the raw materials of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries, the raw materials of the liquid flow battery are easier to obtain, and the electrolyte configuration method is simple, thereby reducing production costs.

[0020] In summary, the iron-based liquid flow battery of the present invention has low cost, improves the energy storage density per unit volume of electrolyte, exhibits excellent cycle stability while maintaining high solubility, and creates new possibilities for the development and application of liquid flow battery technology.
