Abstract
A sulfonated improved aqueous iron-based flow battery electrolyte with high solubility, belonging to the technical field of flow battery energy storage. To solve the problem of low solubility of the iron-based flow battery electrolyte, the present invention uses an asymmetric sulfonated ligand to chelate iron elements, and synthesizes a new type of iron-based flow battery electrolyte with high solubility, and the concentration of the active substance can reach more than 1.3 M at room temperature. The main components of the electrolyte are one or more iron salts, and an aqueous solution of a coordination compound formed by coordinating with 3-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (TAPSO), tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS), tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminoethanesulfonic acid (TES) or its derivative chemicals. This electrolyte is compatible with ferrocyanide, can provide a voltage of more than 1.3 V, and exhibits excellent cycle stability while maintaining high solubility, creating new possibilities for the development and application of flow battery technology.
