Description

Zinc-nickel single flow battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flow battery energy storage, and particularly relates to a zinc-nickel single flow battery.
Background
The zinc-nickel single flow battery is a novel low-cost, high-efficiency and environment-friendly flow battery energy storage technology, has the advantages of high energy density and current efficiency, simple and easy operation of the device, long service life, low cost and the like, and is mainly applied to the fields of power grid peak shaving, power generation of renewable energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy, electric vehicles and the like.
In a traditional battery unit of a zinc-nickel single flow battery, most of anodes are sintered nickel oxide electrodes, cathodes are deposited zinc electrodes on nickel foils, and the anodes and the cathodes are not separated. Because the positive and negative electrodes of the battery unit are not separated, the battery unit cannot realize multi-section series connection, and in the same flowing electrolyte which is free of physical obstruction and is conducted, all the battery units can only be connected in parallel, so that the battery capacity is too low. It is therefore modified by the person skilled in the art: the separator is added between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the positive electrolyte is sealed in the positive half cell, and the negative electrolyte circularly flows between the negative half cell and the negative electrolyte storage device through a pipeline, so that the multiple battery units can be connected in series, and the battery capacity is greatly improved.
However, in the existing zinc-nickel single flow battery, only the negative electrolyte circulates because the positive electrolyte is sealed in the positive half cell in the battery cell. Two problems can exist with this electrolyte flow approach: firstly, because the positive electrode needs to absorb hydroxide ions from the electrolyte in the charging reaction process, the concentration of the hydroxide ions in the positive electrode half cell is reduced along with the progress of the charging reaction, and the concentration polarization of the positive electrode is increased. And secondly, due to the special single-liquid-flow structure, the anode electrolyte does not flow, and compared with the flowing of the anode electrolyte, the battery operated in the mode that the anode electrolyte does not flow can not ensure that the anode electrolyte is fully filled in the cavity of the anode half-battery all the time, so that the integral resistance of the anode is large. The above problems eventually lead to large polarization of the battery and limited battery performance.
