The invention discloses an auxiliary
electrolyte-free high-specific-capacity and stable-circulation
flow battery positive
electrode electrolyte as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the field of flow batteries. The positive
electrolyte is composed of
iron cyanide with the
molar concentration of 0.1-3 mol / L and the balance of water, the
iron cyanide contains complex cations, and the complex cations are at least two of Li < + >, Na < + >, K < + > and NH4 < + >. No auxiliary electrolyte is added into the positive
electrode electrolyte, the
cyanide solubility of iron can be effectively improved through the hetero-
ion effect, when the positive
electrode electrolyte is subsequently applied to
assembly of the iron-based
flow battery, the specific capacity and the
cycling stability of the
flow battery are improved, and moreover, the electrolyte is neutral and has low requirements on acid and alkali
corrosion resistance of corollary equipment, so that the positive electrode electrolyte can be applied to the
assembly of the iron-based flow battery. The applied iron-based flow battery has low cost and practicability in an
energy storage technology, and is beneficial to a large-scale commercialization process.
