Detailed Description
The following examples are further illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Comparative example
Comparative examples of the present invention are perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membranes having flexible segments of different thicknesses. Adopting perfluorinated sulfonic acid ion exchange membranes (Nafion 115, Nafion 212 and Nafion 211) with different thicknesses to assemble the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery, wherein 60mL of 0.6mol L of positive electrolyte is adopted-1K of4Fe(CN)6+5mol L-1The negative electrode electrolyte adopts 60mL0.3mol L-1Zn(OH)4 2-+5mol L-1NaOH at 80mA cm-2Under the condition of working current density of (2), subjecting it to electrochemical treatmentThe chemical performance test results are shown in FIG. 1. It can be seen that the perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membrane has excellent ion selectivity in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery, the coulombic efficiency of which is close to 100%, while the energy efficiency of the battery is lower, close to 80%. This is mainly because the interaction between the perfluororesin backbone of the perfluorosulfonic acid ion-exchange membrane and the side chain sulfonic acid group is strong, resulting in the side chain sulfonic acid group and the cation (K) in the solution+Or Na+) Bonding energy between them is weak, K+Or Na+The perfluorinated sulfonic acid ion exchange membrane has lower ionic conductivity in an alkaline system due to higher resistance of the membrane in permeation through an ion exchange transfer mechanism, so that the voltage efficiency of the battery is lower.
Example 1
The sulfonated polyether ether ketone resin with different sulfonation degrees (SK 1, SK2 and SK3 for short, the structural formula is shown in figure 2, and the sulfonation degrees are 0.70, 0.81 and 0.91 respectively) is prepared by adopting concentrated sulfuric acid to directly sulfonate polyether ether ketone and controlling the sulfonation reaction time. DMAC (dimethylacetamide) is used as a solvent, the resin is prepared into a film, and a hydroxide ion permeation test is carried out on the film, so that the swelling effect of the film is increased and the hydroxide ion permeation rate is increased along with the increase of the sulfonation degree as can be seen from figure 3. And assembling the prepared sulfonated polyether ether ketone with different sulfonation degrees into an alkaline zinc-iron flow battery, and testing, wherein the testing conditions are consistent with those of the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery assembled by perfluorinated sulfonic acid ion exchange membranes with different thicknesses. The test results are shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery assembled by sulfonated polyether ether ketone with different sulfonation degrees is 80mA cm-2The coulombic efficiency of the battery is close to 100% under the condition of working current density, and the voltage efficiency and the energy efficiency are close to or even exceed 90%, which shows that the cation exchange membrane with the rigid chain segment structure has excellent battery performance in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery. In order to further prove the application prospect of the cation exchange membrane with the rigid chain segment structure in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery, an SK2 membrane is selected and the other electrochemical properties of the cation exchange membrane in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery are characterized (electrolyte composition: positive electrode: 0.8mol L)-1Na4Fe(CN)6+3mol L-1KOH; negative electrode: 0.4mol L-1Zn(OH)4 2-+3mol L-1NaOH)。
As can be seen from FIG. 5a, the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery assembled with the SK2 film has excellent rate performance even at 200mA cm-2Under the condition of high working current density, the energy efficiency of the battery can still be kept above 80%; fig. 5b shows the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) of the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery assembled by using SK2 film under different states of charge (SOC), and the higher OCV of the battery indicates the smaller internal resistance of the battery under the same SOC, and it can be seen that the OCV of the battery has a gradually increasing trend along with the increase of the SOC. Fig. 5c is a polarization curve test of alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries assembled with SK2 films at different states of charge (SOC) cells. From the voltage curve, the concentration polarization and the activation polarization of the battery can be basically ignored, and the battery is mainly controlled by ohmic polarization; as can be seen from the power density curve, even at 20% SOC, the peak power density of the battery can still reach 800mW cm-2The flow rate is far higher than that of the water-based new system flow battery reported at present. FIG. 5d shows an alkaline zinc-iron flow cell assembled with SK2 membrane at 200mA cm-2The cycle performance test under the operating current density condition of (1) shows that even at 200mA cm-2Under the condition of high working current density, the battery can still continuously and stably run for more than 200 cycles, the energy efficiency of the battery is always kept above 80%, and excellent cycle stability is shown. In the circulation process, the charge-discharge curve of the battery is kept stable, the discharge capacity and the discharge energy are not obviously attenuated, and the prepared cation exchange membrane with the rigid chain segment structure is further proved to have excellent performance in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery, and is expected to realize large-scale application in the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery.
In order to confirm the alkali resistance stability of the prepared cation exchange membrane with the rigid chain segment structure, the SK2 membrane is placed at 5mol L-1The electrochemical performance of the solution was characterized after 22 days of treatment at 60 ℃. The test results are shown in fig. 6. As can be seen from the figure, the SK2 film was measured at 5mol L-1After the NaOH solution is treated for 22 days at 60 ℃, the alkaline zinc-iron flow battery assembled by the NaOH solution can still keep excellent circulation stability, which shows that the cation exchange membrane with the rigid chain segment structure has excellent alkali-resistant stability.
For conventional flow batteries, such as all-vanadium flow batteries, the capacity of the battery depends on the volume of electrolyte used. While for zinc-based flow batteries, the surface capacity of the battery depends on the electrodes used to assemble the battery. The application of zinc-based batteries is often limited to zinc cathodes. Generally, higher surface capacity leads to more severe problems with zinc dendrites and zinc accumulation, which in turn leads to reduced cell performance. For the cation exchange membrane with the rigid chain segment structure, the zinc acid radical ions are prevented from depositing along the direction of the membrane side and only can deposit along the opposite direction of the membrane, namely along the direction of the inner part of the electrode in the charging process of the battery due to the repulsion action of negative charges in the membrane on zinc acid radicals in an alkaline environment. While the porous carbon felt electrode can accommodate more metallic zinc. Therefore, alkaline zinc-iron flow battery assembled with SK film, even at 20mA cm-2The charging curve of the battery is still kept smooth when the battery is charged for 8 hours under the working current density condition (figure 7), the voltage does not rise sharply at the end of charging, and the surface capacity of the battery reaches 160mAh cm-2The battery can be 160mA cm-2The battery is continuously and stably discharged for 1 hour under the condition of working current density, the coulomb efficiency of the battery is kept above 99%, and the voltage efficiency is kept above 83%; at 80mA cm-2The battery is continuously and stably discharged for 2 hours under the condition of working current density, the coulomb efficiency of the battery is close to 100 percent, and the voltage efficiency is always kept at about 90 percent.
Further increasing the charging current density of the battery to 40mA cm-2(FIG. 8), the battery was charged continuously and stably for 4 hours, and the voltage curve at the end of charging was smooth at 80mA cm-2The battery is continuously and stably discharged for 2 hours under the working current density condition, the coulomb efficiency of the battery is close to 100 percent, the voltage efficiency is kept about 86 percent, and the excellent battery performance is shown.

Example 5
Dissolving polyether-ether-ketone containing side chains with a certain mass (10g) in concentrated sulfuric acid with a certain volume (100mL) by adopting a direct sulfonation method, sulfonating for a certain time (11h, the sulfonation degree is 0.91) at a certain temperature (70 ℃) (figure 10), and characterizing the electrochemical performance of the prepared film in an alkaline zinc-iron flow battery at 160mAcm-2Under the condition of working current density, the coulombic efficiency of the battery is close to 100 percent, the voltage efficiency is about 81 percent, the battery continuously and stably runs for 230 cycles without obvious attenuation of performance, and the excellent battery performance is shown.
