Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage batteries and relates to a liquid flow battery capacity monitoring and hydrogen online recovery system. Background Art

[0002] The large-scale use of fossil fuels has led to a series of problems, including environmental pollution and climate change. To achieve a clean and sustainable energy supply, promoting the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power is crucial. However, due to the intermittent and fluctuating nature of renewable energy, its integration into the grid often leads to power fluctuations, which has become a major constraint to its large-scale application. Therefore, the development of grid-scale energy storage technology is seen as an important approach to addressing this issue. Among existing large-scale energy storage technologies, flow batteries demonstrate significant application potential and broad development prospects due to their excellent scalability, safety, long lifespan, and low lifecycle costs.

[0003] Existing types of flow batteries include all-vanadium flow batteries, iron-chromium flow batteries, iron-vanadium flow batteries, and zinc-bromine flow batteries. The redox reaction potential of the negative electrode of these flow batteries is generally less than 0 V vs. SHE. During charging, hydrogen evolution will occur at the negative electrode. The occurrence of side reactions such as hydrogen evolution will lead to an imbalance in the ion valence state, which in turn leads to a decrease in battery capacity, performance, and service life. At the same time, a certain amount of hydrogen will accumulate on the top of the negative electrode electrolyte tank. In existing flow battery systems, most of them use a method of regular hydrogen discharge to avoid accumulation. For example, Chinese patent CN217903167U discloses a hydrogen discharge system suitable for flow batteries to achieve timely hydrogen discharge. However, with the continuous development of flow battery systems, the increase in hydrogen volume and the explosion risk caused by hydrogen contact with other gases cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is necessary to process the generated hydrogen in real time.

[0004] There are currently some invention patents to solve the problem of battery capacity decay caused by the production of hydrogen as a byproduct during the charge and discharge process of liquid flow batteries. For example, Chinese patent CN109659587A discloses a liquid flow battery capacity decay control system and method, which uses gas chromatography to measure the concentration of hydrogen in the negative electrode electrolyte storage tank, and periodically calculates the total amount of hydrogen evolution from the hydrogen concentration; calculates the liquid flow battery capacity decay based on the amount of hydrogen evolution, and replenishes the positive electrode electrolyte storage tank with a corresponding amount of capacity recovery agent when the liquid flow battery is discharged. However, the gas chromatography detection scheme has a lag, and the results of hydrogen detection cannot be fed back in time. Real-time monitoring of capacity decay in the liquid flow battery system cannot be achieved, and therefore real-time replenishment of capacity recovery agent cannot be achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the technical solutions and drawings.

[0029] Example 1 See Figure 1 , is a working principle diagram of a liquid flow battery capacity monitoring and hydrogen online recovery system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The system includes a battery charging and discharging unit 1, a liquid flow battery anode hydrogen production unit 2, a cathode hydrogen circulation unit 3, a cathode circulation unit 4, a product circulation unit 5, a liquid flow battery anode gas production unit 6, and a liquid flow battery capacity monitoring unit 7. The steps for setting up the battery system in this embodiment 1 are as follows: (1) Construct a membrane electrode structure battery. The battery includes a negative electrode, a membrane, and a positive electrode. The negative electrode is composed of a graphite flow channel plate with a serpentine flow channel, a carbon felt gas diffusion layer, and a Pt-C catalyst layer. The positive electrode is composed of a graphite flow channel plate with a serpentine flow channel, a carbon felt gas diffusion layer, and a Pt-C catalyst. The membrane is a perfluorosulfonic acid membrane (Nafion membrane). The battery operating temperature is 80°C. The positive and negative electrode gas temperature is 80°C.

[0030] (2) The membrane electrode structure battery and the charge and discharge instrument together constitute the battery charge and discharge unit 1.

[0031] (3) The hydrogen production unit 2 at the negative electrode of the liquid flow battery delivers hydrogen into the negative electrode of the battery in the battery charge and discharge unit 1 at a rate of 2 L / min, and the gas temperature is 80°C.

[0032] (4) The negative electrode hydrogen circulation unit 3 enables hydrogen to circulate between the negative electrode hydrogen production unit 2 of the liquid flow battery and the negative electrode of the battery at a rate of 2 L / min.

[0033] (5) The positive electrode gas production unit 6 of the liquid flow battery system delivers the positive electrode gas (oxygen) of the liquid flow battery system into the positive electrode of the battery in the battery charge and discharge unit 1 at a rate of 2 L / min, and the gas temperature is 80°C.

[0034] (6) The positive electrode circulation unit 4 realizes the circulation of positive electrode gas (oxygen) between the positive electrode gas production unit 6 and the positive electrode of the liquid flow battery at a rate of 2 L / min, and sends the product water generated during the operation of the battery to the product circulation unit 5. Among them, the positive electrode of the battery generates O2+4H + +4e - →2H2O reaction, the negative electrode of the battery produces 2H2→4H + +4e - reaction.

[0035] The discharge capacity of the battery is controlled by the charge and discharge instrument of the battery charge and discharge unit 1, and the battery can achieve long-term discharge under constant current, and the battery operating temperature is 80°C. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the battery's discharge voltage at a constant current varies with changes in the flow rates of hydrogen at the negative electrode and oxygen at the positive electrode. As the hydrogen and oxygen supply increases, the discharge voltage at a constant discharge current (2A) gradually increases. Clearly, for the battery's charge and discharge units, increasing the gas supply significantly improves the battery's discharge capacity. Figure 3 The figure shows that the battery charge and discharge unit 1 maintains a constant current discharge during a charge and discharge cycle of the liquid flow battery system. Hydrogen begins to appear in the liquid flow battery system at the end of charging. The battery charge and discharge unit 1 quickly identifies the hydrogen and begins to discharge. As the amount of hydrogen in the liquid flow battery system accumulates, the battery charge and discharge unit 1 maintains a long period of hydrogen consumption. The liquid flow battery capacity monitoring unit 7 calculates the total consumption of pure hydrogen based on the discharge amount per unit time (30Ah) to be 12.58 L. Based on the 2H + +2V 2+ =2V 3+ +H2↑ determines that the valence state offset of the vanadium electrolyte in the flow battery system is 1.125 mol. An appropriate amount of recovery agent can then be added based on the degree of valence state offset.

[0036] Example 2 The liquid flow battery capacity monitoring and hydrogen online recovery system provided in Example 2 of the present invention is basically the same as the battery system in Example 1, except that the positive electrode gas is converted to chlorine for different liquid flow battery systems. + +2e - →2HCl reaction, the negative electrode of the battery produces H2→2H + +2e - reaction.

[0037] The membrane electrode structure used in the battery features an Ir-C catalyst for the positive electrode and a Pt-C catalyst for the negative electrode. The membrane is a polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane. The battery operates at a temperature of 60°C, with the positive and negative electrode gas temperatures at 60°C.

[0038] Figure 4 The figure shows that the battery charge and discharge unit 1 maintains a constant current discharge during the two charge and discharge cycles of the liquid flow battery system. The liquid flow battery capacity monitoring unit 7 calculates the total consumption of pure hydrogen as 47.9L based on the total discharge volume (115Ah) in 4 cycles, and determines that the pure hydrogen consumption in a single cycle is 23.95L. + +2V 2+ =2V 3+ +H2↑ can clearly show that the valence state shift of the vanadium electrolyte in each cycle in the system is 1.07 mol. Therefore, an appropriate amount of recovery agent can be added according to the degree of valence state shift.

[0039] Example 3 The liquid flow battery capacity monitoring and hydrogen online recovery system provided in Example 3 of the present invention is basically the same as the battery system in Example 1, except that the positive electrode gas is converted to CO2 for different liquid flow battery systems. + +8e − →CH4+2H2O reaction, the negative electrode of the battery produces H2→2H + +2e - The battery used had an IrO2 catalyst at the positive electrode, a Pt-C catalyst at the negative electrode, and a polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane. The battery operated at 80°C, with the positive and negative gas temperatures at 80°C.

[0040] Figure 5 The battery charge and discharge unit 1 maintains a constant current discharge during the two charge and discharge cycles of the liquid flow battery system. The liquid flow battery capacity monitoring unit 7 calculates the total consumption of pure hydrogen to be 12.58 L based on the total discharge volume (30 Ah) in the two cycles, and clarifies that the pure hydrogen consumption in a single cycle is 6.29 L. + +2V 2+ =2V 3+ +H2↑ can clearly show that the valence state shift of the vanadium electrolyte in each cycle in the system is 0.562 mol. Therefore, an appropriate amount of recovery agent can be added according to the degree of valence state shift.
