In this embodiment, the second liquid electrode may be prepared by dissolving VOSO4 (vanadylsulfate) or V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide) in an aqueous H2SO4 solution.

[0035] The second liquid electrode causes the second half-reaction. The second half-reaction is as follows, where → indicates the direction of the discharge reaction and ← indicates the direction of the charge reaction.

[0036] V 5+ + e - ←→ V 4+

[0037] During discharge, vanadium pentavalent ions are reduced to vanadium tetravalent ions, and during charging, vanadium tetravalent ions are oxidized to vanadium pentavalent ions.

[0038] The second liquid electrode is provided surrounded by a frame (110), a second current collector (130b), and a separator (120). The second liquid electrode is not leaked in an in-plane direction, etc., by means of a second adhesive member between the second current collector (130b) and the frame (110). The second liquid electrode is received in a second electrode receiving portion (111b). It is preferable that the second liquid electrode be impregnated into the second solid electrode (150b).

[0039] The second liquid electrode is electrically connected to the second current collector (130b), so that electrons move to the second current collector (130b) during charging, and electrons from the second current collector (130b) move to the second liquid electrode during discharging. The second liquid electrode is in contact with the separator (120), and hydrogen cations (protons) move through the separator (120).

[0040] As previously discussed, the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode have the same composition. The first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode contain vanadium ions in an electrolyte of the same composition. Hereinafter, the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode will be collectively referred to as the liquid electrode.

[0041] The frame (110) is formed as a hollow square. According to the embodiment, the frame (110) may be formed as a rhombus, a circle, a triangle, or a polygon of pentagon or more. The frame (110) has a predetermined thickness in the out-of-plane direction to form a first electrode receiving portion (111a) and a second electrode receiving portion (111b). Hereinafter, the out-of-plane direction refers to a direction penetrating the in-plane direction (a direction parallel to the plane formed by the separator (120)). The out-of-plane direction includes the through-thickness direction of the frame (110), but does not refer only to a direction perpendicular to the in-plane direction.

[0042] The frame (110) is formed so that its edge matches the edge of the first carbon collector (132a) of the first collector (130a) and the edge of the second carbon collector (132b) of the second collector (130a).

[0043] A first current collector (130a) is disposed on one side of the frame (110) in the out-of-plane direction, and a second current collector (130b) is disposed on the other side. The hollow of the frame (110) is closed by the first current collector (130a) and the second current collector (130b). The frame (110) is disposed between the first current collector (130a) and the second current collector (130b) to prevent leakage of the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode in the in-plane direction, etc. The frame (110) is coupled to the first current collector (130a) by a first adhesive member (160a) and coupled to the second current collector (130b) by a second adhesive member (160b).

[0044] A separator (120) is disposed in the hollow of the frame (110). The hollow of the frame (110) is divided into two spaces by the separator (120). The frame (110) can be bonded to the separator (120) with an adhesive having the same components as the first adhesive member (160a) or the second adhesive member (160b).

[0045] The frame (110) forms a first electrode receiving portion (111a) between the first current collector (130a) and the separator (120), and forms a second electrode receiving portion (111b) between the second current collector (130b) and the separator (120).

[0046] The frame (110) accommodates a first liquid electrode and a second liquid electrode. A first solid electrode (150a) and a second solid electrode (150b) are disposed inside the frame (110). A first adhesive member (160a) is attached to one edge of the frame (110) in the out-of-plane direction, and a second adhesive member (160b) is attached to the other edge of the frame (110) in the out-of-plane direction.

[0047] The frame (110) forms a transition portion (112) with the first adhesive member (160a) or the second adhesive member (160b).

[0048] The transition section (112) connects the first electrode receiving section (111a) and the second electrode receiving section (111b). The first liquid electrode and / or the second liquid electrode flow through the transition section (112). A portion of the transition section (112) is formed as a groove on the edge of the frame (110), and another portion is formed as a hole. The groove of the transition section (112) is formed by being recessed outward from the frame (110) so that the inward direction is the longitudinal direction. The hole of the transition section (112) is formed by penetrating the frame (110) outwardly so that the outward direction is the longitudinal direction.

[0049] The transition portion (112) is formed, at least in part, by the first adhesive member (160a) and the frame (110) or by the second adhesive member (160b) and the frame (110). The transition portion (112) is positioned between the first adhesive member (160a) and the second adhesive member (160b). One side of the transition portion (112) in the out-of-plane direction is covered by the first adhesive member (160a), and the other side in the out-of-plane direction is covered by the second adhesive member (160b). The first liquid electrode and / or the second liquid electrode flowing through the transition portion (112) come into contact with the first adhesive member (160a) and / or the second adhesive member (160b).

[0050] A detailed description of the transition part (112) will be given later with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

[0051] The separator (120) is positioned inside the frame (110) to separate the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode and to allow hydrogen cations (protons) to move between the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode. The separator (120) is positioned inside the frame (110) at the center in the thickness direction of the frame (110) to distinguish the first electrode receiving portion (111a) and the second electrode receiving portion (111b).

[0052] The separator (120) is positioned between the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode. The separator (120) is positioned between the first current collector (130a) and the second current collector (130b). The separator (120) is positioned in the frame (110) in the inner side in the in-plane direction than the first adhesive member (160a) or the second adhesive member (160b). The edge of the separator (120) is attached to the frame (110).

[0053] Hydrogen cations pass through the separator (120) during discharge and move from the first liquid electrode to the second liquid electrode, and pass through the separator (120) during charging and move from the second liquid electrode to the first liquid electrode.

[0054] The separator (120) may include a perfluorinated ionomer, a partially fluorinated polymer, and non-fluorinated hydrocarbons. The separator (120) may be formed of or include Nafion®, Flemion®, NEOSEPTA-F®, or Gore Select®.

[0055] The separator (120) must prevent the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode from mixing with each other, but a crossover phenomenon may occur during charging or discharging in which vanadium ions and water contained in the first liquid electrode and the second liquid electrode pass through the separator (120). Accordingly, an imbalance occurs between the amount of the first liquid electrode and the amount of the second liquid electrode, which affects the performance and lifespan of the secondary battery. In the case of a liquid electrode tank and a pump, as in a conventional redox secondary battery, such an imbalance of the liquid electrodes can be resolved, but in the case of the present invention, where a small amount of liquid electrode exists only inside the secondary battery, even a small difference in imbalance affects the performance and lifespan of the secondary battery. The transition section (112) resolves the imbalance caused by this crossover, and the first liquid electrode or the second liquid electrode with increased volume moves through the transition section (112) to the first liquid electrode or the second liquid electrode with reduced volume.

[0056] The first current collector (130a) is positioned on one side of the frame (110) to form a first electrode receiving portion (111a) together with the frame (110) and the separator (120). The first current collector (130a) is positioned parallel to and spaced apart from the second current collector (130b). The first current collector (130a) is attached to a first adhesive member (160a) attached to the frame (110).

[0103] The edges of the separator (120) are joined to the separator support (115) so that the separator (120) is stretched taut. It is preferable that the separator support (115) has a minimum width capable of supporting the separator (120). The separator support (115) acts as a rib that reinforces the in-plane direction of the frame body (119), thereby preventing the frame body (119) from deforming in the in-plane direction even if expansion or contraction of the first liquid electrode or the second liquid electrode, gas generation within the liquid electrode, or external impact occurs.
