Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of batteries, and particularly relates to a negative electrolyte, a preparation method thereof and a full-iron flow battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] China has a vast territory and rich wind and solar energy resources. However, the supply of these natural resources has the characteristics of discontinuity and instability, and direct access to the power grid will cause many challenges, so it is necessary to carry out stability treatment first. In addition, the supply and demand of electricity often do not match in time and space, showing peaks and troughs of demand, as well as imbalances in supply and demand in different regions. The key strategy to cope with these challenges is to develop energy storage technology, especially electrochemical energy storage technology, which has the advantages of high efficiency, fast response and small geographical limitation, and is suitable for both stability adjustment of wind and solar power generation and management of the demand side of electricity. Among many electrochemical energy storage technologies, flow batteries, as an innovative electrochemical energy storage technology, store energy in liquid electrolytes and convert chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. It has many advantages, including flexible system design, deep charge and discharge, high energy conversion efficiency, and safety and environmental protection. These characteristics make flow batteries show great potential in applications such as grid integration and peak regulation of new energy power generation.

[0003] As the most mature flow battery technology, the all-vanadium redox flow battery has good commercial prospects due to its good stability, fast response speed, high efficiency and long cycle life. However, affected by the price fluctuations of vanadium ore, the cost of electrolyte continues to be high, accounting for more than 40% of the total energy storage cost, which not only raises the overall cost of the system, but also limits its large-scale commercial application in the energy storage field. Therefore, in order to break this bottleneck, it is particularly urgent and necessary to develop a new type of low-cost aqueous flow battery system.

[0004] The full-iron flow battery uses iron ions as the active material of the positive and negative electrodes, and uses inexpensive iron as the raw material, which greatly reduces the cost of the electrolyte and the overall system, showing high cost-effectiveness. The open-circuit voltage of this battery is 1.21V, similar to that of the all-vanadium flow battery, and can avoid cross contamination. The active material is widely available and low in price. However, the full-iron flow battery faces some technical challenges, including low solubility of active materials in electrolyte, high degree of side reactions, and ion transmembrane migration problems, which limit the energy efficiency and cycle life of the battery. In particular, the poor reversibility of the hydrolysis and deposition / dissolution reactions of ferrous ions in the negative electrolyte, as well as the severity of the hydrogen evolution reaction, further lead to low energy efficiency and capacity decay problems, affecting its cycle stability and widespread application in energy storage technology.
