The invention provides a double-phase diaphragm-free
zinc-
bromine battery electrolyte, a preparation method and application, belongs to the technical field of
energy storage batteries, and aims to solve the problems that an
organic solvent of an existing double-phase diaphragm-free
zinc-
bromine battery electrolyte has safety risks, the
solubility of active substances is not high, and the service life of the battery is prolonged. And when a specific
ionic liquid is used as an organic phase, the
bromine fixation function is single.
Imidazole bromine salt and
zinc bromide are jointly dissolved in water, and an
ionic liquid phase and a water phase are formed by adjusting the adding amount of the
zinc bromide. The
solubility of the bromine species in the
ionic liquid phase is far greater than that in the water phase, and the
imidazole bromine salt can be complexed with the bromine species to form a polybromine complex, so that the ionic
liquid phase can be used as a positive
electrode electrolyte of a two-phase zinc-bromine battery. The raw materials of the prepared dual-phase
electrolyte all participate in the
electrode reaction of the zinc-bromine battery, bromine species are dissolved and fixed in an ionic
liquid phase under the condition that other organic solvents or ionic liquid is not introduced,
diffusion of the bromine species to a water phase is reduced, and the self-
discharge phenomenon of the zinc-bromine battery is reduced. And the preparation method of the
electrolyte is simple, greatly simplifies the manufacturing process of the battery, and is easy to popularize and apply.
