A kind of ion-exchange membrane for liquid flow energy-storing batteries and liquid flow energy storage battery group
Technical field
The present invention relates to liquid flow energy storage battery, specifically a kind of ion-exchange membrane for liquid flow energy-storing batteries and liquid flow energy storage battery group.
Background technology
Liquid flow energy storage battery is a kind of as secondary cell, carrying out oxidation and reduction reaction by electrolyte solution respectively at two half-cells charges and discharge process, thereby realize the conversion of energy, liquid flow energy storage battery has electrical power storage and efficient transformation function, characteristics such as long service life, environmental protection, safety, be easy to be complementary, for the utilization of regenerative resource provides technique guarantee with renewable energy systems such as solar energy, wind energies.
All-vanadium liquid flow energy storage battery is a kind of of liquid flow energy storage battery, vanadium ion by different valence state transforms storage and the release that realizes electric energy mutually, has a series of advantage: at first, its active material is present in the liquid, the solid phase that conventional batteries does not take place when discharging and recharging often to be had changes or form changes, and the active material life-span is long; Secondly, the amount of capacity of battery depends on the concentration and the volume (being the total content of cell active materials) of electrolyte, and watt level depends on the size of battery pack, thereby the user can adjust battery capacity or power as required easily; Once more, electrolyte is in flow regime when battery operated, and concentration polarization is littler than other batteries; At last, but battery deep discharge and battery is not caused damage.
Though all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage battery has series of advantages as mentioned above, but the weak point that also has it, be embodied in: because in charging and discharge process, the migratory direction of different valence state vanadium ion in amberplex is different with the migration amount, this just causes the vanadium ion total amount of battery one side constantly to reduce, and the vanadium ion total amount of opposite side constantly increases, and finally causes the continuous reduction of battery charging and discharging capacity.In addition, positive pole and negative pole electrolyte are in the battery plus-negative plate cyclic process, because positive pole and negative pole electrolyte at the caused water transport phenomena of the concentration difference of amberplex both sides, finally cause anodal and the negative pole electrolyte is long-pending unbalance.In the vanadium redox battery running, when amberplex adopted anion-exchange membrane, the water purification migratory direction was anodal to negative pole, and when amberplex adopted cation-exchange membrane, the water migratory direction was opposite.
Present disclosed patent documentation is decayed and the water migration problem because of electroactive material moves the charge/discharge capacity that causes at liquid flow energy storage battery, proposes following solution:
WO:02071522 has designed a kind of secondary cell, and this battery is made up of two electrode chambers and a cation-exchange membrane of separating, and when battery operated, anodal and negative pole electrolyte is respectively by separately electrolyte storage tank inflow electrode chambers separately; In order to move from the water of positive pole in the balancing battery running to negative pole, a kind of container has been used in this invention, this container is made up of two compartments and a reverse osmosis membrane of separating, the positive pole and the negative pole electrolyte that flow out from the battery plus-negative plate chamber enter this container respectively, the water that water moves to negative pole from positive pole to positive pole moves with balancing battery from negative pole by reverse osmosis membrane.
US 6475661 has designed a kind of circulate electrolyte mode, anodal electrolyte enters from the anode chamber of battery pack one end, the anode chamber of next batteries of back inflow of coming out is so got back to anodal electrolysis liquid storage tank after the anode chamber by minor details flows out, negative pole electrolyte is also like this.This feed liquor mode makes the electrical potential difference of first segment and final section battery obviously reduce, and leakage current is eliminated substantially.And, in battery pack, adopt anion-exchange membrane and cation-exchange membrane cycle alternation to use, come compensation water to see through the transmission of film with this.
WO2007/040545 has designed a kind of all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage battery system, system comprises a battery pack, battery pack is made up of such multiple batteries: at least one batteries is made up of positive electrode and the catholyte that matches with positive electrode, negative electrode and the anolyte that matches with negative electrode, a cation-exchange membrane that is used for separating negative electrode and anolyte, and an other batteries adopts anion-exchange membrane to replace cation-exchange membrane.This battery pack structure that is used alternatingly by anion-exchange membrane and cation-exchange membrane is used for stoping water migration clean between negative electrode and the anolyte, clean vanadium migration and the concentration of proton and sulfate ion to change.
Above-mentioned patent documentation is mostly by increasing subsystem, introduce auxiliary equipment or improve the ion migration and the water migration situation of electrolyte solution by changing the electrolyte solution type of flow, but can bring simultaneously such as increasing equipment investment, reducing problems such as battery pack efficient; Though the net migration amount that the way of anion-exchange membrane and cation-exchange membrane can reduce water and vanadium ion is alternately installed in employing in battery pack, it is different with the net migration amount that sees through anion-exchange membrane that but vanadium ion sees through the net migration amount of cation-exchange membrane, therefore, the capacity unbalance problem of battery both sides solution still can appear in long-play, finally causes the decay of battery set charge/discharge capacity.
