Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to electrolyte storage tanks, and more particularly to vanadium battery electrolyte storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Vanadium batteries are redox batteries where the active material is in a circulating liquid state. They utilize the different chemical potentials of vanadium ions in different oxidation states to store energy. They offer advantages such as high charge / discharge efficiency, capacity that can increase with the addition of a storage tank, and the ability to recycle the electrolyte. Vanadium batteries use a sulfuric acid solution of pentavalent and tetravalent vanadium ions as the positive electrode electrolyte and a sulfuric acid solution of trivalent and divalent vanadium ions as the negative electrode electrolyte, separated by an ion exchange membrane. The electrolyte in a vanadium battery determines the amount of energy it can store. Currently, vanadium battery electrolytes are generally stored in dedicated storage tanks.
