Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a zinc-bromine battery in chemical energy storage technology, and in particular to the technical field of zinc-bromine batteries. Background Art

[0002] By storing and releasing energy into the grid through energy storage systems, intermittent renewable electricity can be transformed into a stable, safe, and efficient clean energy source, becoming a key technology for transforming my country's energy structure and ensuring energy supply security. In this context, the development of green and environmentally friendly, high-density energy storage batteries is particularly important. Halogen-based aqueous batteries offer inherently high safety, and the abundance of halogens, coupled with the fact that their production process does not require anhydrous conditions, further ensures their low cost. Aqueous electrolytes offer higher ionic conductivity than organic systems, resulting in higher power density and greater competitiveness in the field of large-scale energy storage. Zinc-iodine batteries are a classic type of halogen-based aqueous battery, attracting significant attention for their high safety, long life, and low cost. In recent years, a type of zinc-iodine battery that utilizes the four-electron conversion reaction of iodine molecules has been proposed, significantly improving the battery's energy and power density. Although bromine also has multiple valence states, allowing for the construction of electrodes with multi-electron conversion reactions to achieve higher energy density, existing zinc-bromine battery technology is still based on single-electron conversion of bromine, primarily due to the stability and solubility issues of the high-valence bromine active species.

[0037] During charging, the zinc-bromine battery of the present invention first oxidizes bromide ions to zero-valent bromine. With the help of nucleophilic anions, the zero-valent bromine is further oxidized to a halogen compound with a higher valent bromine. During this process, the active bromine species interact with the additive A in the positive electrode, while the cations of the inorganic salt migrate into the electrolyte, depositing zinc ions on the negative electrode surface. The reverse occurs during discharge. Because the higher valent bromine element is stored in the positive electrode material as an halogen compound, the decomposition and dissolution of the higher valent bromine is reduced, surpassing the specific capacity and voltage of traditional zinc-bromine batteries, thereby achieving higher energy and power density.
