Description

Conductive plastic for all-vanadium redox flow battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bipolar plate materials of all-vanadium redox flow batteries, and particularly relates to conductive plastic for an all-vanadium redox flow battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the global energy revolution, the utilization ratio of renewable clean energy is gradually increasing. Especially, the proposal of the 'double carbon' target requires the use of green and clean energy. Wind and solar energy are the fastest growing renewable energy sources. However, when the power generation device is used, the power generation device is limited by external environmental factors, so that the power output is unstable and discontinuous, the unstable characteristic can generate larger impact on a power grid, and the cost performance of new energy power generation is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to configure corresponding energy storage devices in the power grid to implement peak clipping and valley filling.
The currently common energy storage technologies mainly include physical energy storage modes such as water pumping energy storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage and the like, and chemical energy storage modes such as battery energy storage and the like. In physical energy storage, the construction of water pumping energy storage, compressed air energy storage and flywheel energy storage is seriously limited by geographical site selection and ecological environment. The chemical energy storage includes modes of sodium-sulfur battery energy storage, lithium ion battery energy storage, lead-acid battery energy storage, redox flow and the like, and each mode has characteristics. Compared with other energy storage technologies, the redox flow battery has the advantages of safety, reliability, environmental friendliness, certain overload and deep discharge capacity and the like, and has unique advantages in the energy storage technology.
The galvanic pile in the vanadium flow battery system is the core and is composed of electrodes, a flow frame, an ion exchange membrane, a bipolar plate, an end plate and the like. The bipolar plate mainly has the functions of isolating positive and negative electrolytes and forming a current path. Since the electrolyte in the all-vanadium flow battery is an acidic aqueous solution, the bipolar plate must have good acid resistance and corrosion resistance. Current research considers bipolar plates made based on graphite to be the most cost effective solution. Wherein graphite mainly provides a complete conductive path, and the plastic plays a role in physical support and corrosion resistance. Generally, a bipolar plate having a high graphite content is required for practical use, but this makes it difficult to satisfy the mechanical properties of the bipolar plate. Therefore, how to balance the conductivity and mechanical properties of the bipolar plate is a difficult problem which hinders the application of all-vanadium flow batteries at present.

Therefore, the compatibility of the expanded graphite and the polyolefin is greatly improved, the expanded graphite is more uniformly dispersed in the polyolefin substrate, the formation of a conductive channel is facilitated, and the improvement of the conductivity of the material is promoted.
