The embodiment of the invention provides a flow battery stack and a flow battery system, belonging to the technical field of flow batteries, and the application scene can be as follows: zinc-iron flow battery and its system. It can be understood that in the prior art, electrochemical polarization of the flow battery is caused by different ion concentrations of the electrolyte reacted at different parts of the electrode, so that zinc dendrite growth adversely affects the efficient performance of the battery, for example, zinc dendrite growth penetrates an ionic membrane to cause internal short circuit of the battery.
Therefore, there is a need to solve the problem of maintaining the ion concentration of the electrolyte solution in the reaction at each part of the electrode uniform.
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Referring to fig. 2 to 10, the present embodiment provides a flow battery stack 3 including mounting plates 312 and single cells arranged in an array between the mounting plates 312, the single cells including an ion exchange membrane 35, a current collecting plate 32, a flow frame, an electrode 33, and a flow port; the collector plates 32 are disposed on both sides of the ion exchange membrane 35; the liquid flow frame comprises a positive liquid flow frame 301 and a negative liquid flow frame 302 which are respectively arranged on two sides of the ion exchange membrane 35, and two reaction chambers are formed on two sides of the ion exchange membrane 35 together with the current collecting plate 32, wherein one reaction chamber is a positive reaction chamber 313, and the other reaction chamber is a negative reaction chamber 314; the electrode 33 comprises a positive electrode 33 and a negative electrode 33, which are respectively arranged on the current collecting plates 32 on two sides of the ion exchange membrane 35, the positive electrode 33 is positioned in the positive reaction chamber 313, and the negative electrode 33 is positioned in the negative reaction chamber 314; the liquid flow ports comprise a first liquid flow port 36 and a second liquid flow port 37, the first liquid flow port 36 and the second liquid flow port 37 are arranged on the outer side of the liquid flow frame 31 in a staggered mode, and the first liquid flow port 36 and the second liquid flow port 37 penetrate through the liquid flow frame 31 to be communicated with the positive electrode reaction cavity 313 or the negative electrode reaction cavity 314.
In some embodiments, the mounting plates 312 are arranged in a clamping arrangement on both sides of the stack of cells stacked in an array.
In some embodiments, the ion exchange membrane 35 is a porous membrane.
In some embodiments, the electrode 33 is a graphite plate, a metal plate, or a carbon cloth.
In some embodiments, the positive electrolyte in positive reaction chamber 313 is a mixture of demineralized water, a strong base, and tetrasodium hexacyanoferrate decahydrate.
In some embodiments, the negative electrolyte in the negative reaction chamber 314 is a mixture of demineralized water, a zinc compound, a strong base, and potassium sodium tartrate.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the negative electrode 33 of one cell of the present embodiment is connected to the positive electrode 33 of an adjacent cell through a current collecting plate 32, the positive electrode 33 is connected to the negative electrode 33 of another adjacent cell through another current collecting plate 32, and the flow frame 31 outside the electrode 33 is laminated between the ion exchange membrane 35 and the current collecting plate 32, thereby forming the structure of the cell stack.
For example, referring to fig. 7, the flow frame 31 has a ring-shaped structure, a reaction chamber is inside the flow frame 31, the first flow ports 36 and the second flow ports 37 are alternately arranged on the outer side of the flow frame 31, the electrolyte flows into the reaction chamber from the first flow ports 36, and after the electrolyte reacts with the electrode 33, the electrolyte flows out from the second flow ports 37 on both sides of the first flow ports 36, so that locally uniform electrolyte circulation is formed at each part of the electrode 33, the ion concentration of the electrolyte reacted at each part of the electrode 33 is kept consistent, electrochemical polarization of the flow battery is prevented, and adverse effects on the high efficiency of the battery due to the growth of zinc dendrites are avoided.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7 and 8, a liquid flow cavity 38 is formed in the flow frame 31, the first liquid flow port 36 penetrates into the flow frame 31 to communicate with the liquid flow cavity 38, and the second liquid flow port 37 penetrates through the flow frame 31 to communicate with the reaction cavity; both sides of one end of the second liquid flow port 37 in the reaction cavity are provided with petals 39, an accumulation area 310 and a diffusion area 311 are formed between the adjacent petals 39, and the diffusion area 311 is positioned between the adjacent accumulation areas 310; one end of the diffusion region 311 is communicated with the liquid flow cavity 38, and the other end is communicated with the reaction cavity, and is used for diffusing the electrolyte flowing into the reaction cavity from the liquid flow cavity 38; one end of the gathering region 310 is wrapped around one end of the second flow port 37 in the reaction chamber, and the other end is communicated with the reaction chamber, so as to gather the electrolyte flowing into the reaction chamber from the second flow port 37.
Illustratively, when the concentration of the electrolyte is above the threshold, the first flow port 36 is an electrolyte inlet, the second flow port 37 is an electrolyte outlet, the electrolyte with high concentration flows into the flow chamber 38 from the first flow port 36, flows out from the gap between the adjacent petals 39 after reaction (refer to the direction of the arrow in fig. 7 as the flow direction of the electrolyte), and then flows into the diffusion region 311 by squeezing through the gap between the petals 39, the flow rate of the electrolyte squeezing through the gap between the petals 39 is accelerated, and then the electrolyte enters the diffusion region 311 to be in contact reaction with the electrode 33 in a diffusion flow manner, so that the uniformity of the concentration of the electrolyte at each part of the electrode 33 is further ensured.
When the first liquid flow port 36 is an electrolyte inlet, the speed of the electrolyte with high ion concentration entering the reaction chamber in a diffusion flow mode can be reduced, so that the electrolyte with high ion concentration has enough time to fully contact and react with the electrode 33, and the full progress of the reaction is ensured; on the contrary, if the electrolyte with high ion concentration is fed into and discharged from the reaction chamber, the reaction can be smoothly performed, but each reaction is insufficient, only a small part of the electrolyte with high ion concentration is reacted, and the reaction amount entering the reaction chamber in a diffusion flow manner can be achieved by multiple reactions, so that the efficiency is undoubtedly low.
Illustratively, when the ion concentration of the electrolyte is at or below the threshold, the second flow port 37 is an electrolyte inlet, the first flow port 36 is an electrolyte outlet, the electrolyte with low ion concentration flows into the accumulation region 310 from the second flow port 37, then the electrolyte with low ion concentration in the accumulation region 310 pushes through the gap between the petals 39 and flows into the reaction chamber, the flow rate of the electrolyte pushing through the gap between the petals 39 is accelerated, and then rapidly flows through the reaction with each part of the electrode 33, and then flows out from the gap between the petals 39 between the diffusion regions 311, and the electrolyte with low ion concentration accelerated to flow through the electrode 33 can ensure that enough ion amount reacts with the electrode 33 in unit time, thereby ensuring the stable output voltage of the battery under the condition of low ion concentration of the electrolyte.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the flow frame 31 includes a peripheral plate 3101, a first side plate 3102 and a second side plate 3103, the peripheral plate 3101 being two concentrically arranged annular plates; the first side plate 3102 is provided on the side of the annular plate close to the ion exchange membrane 35; the second side plate 3103 is disposed on the side of the annular plate away from the ion exchange membrane 35; the space formed between the peripheral plate 3101 and the first and second side plates 3102 and 3103 is the chamber 38, and the spaces formed between the flaps 39 and the first and second side plates 3102 and 3103 are the accumulation region 310 or the diffusion region 311.
It should be noted that the petals 39 of the accumulation region 310 and the diffusion region 311 are the "splay" petals 39 alternately arranged, the heads of the "splay" petals 39 of the accumulation region 310 are close to the electrodes 33, while the heads of the "splay" petals 39 of the diffusion region 311 are positioned in the liquid flow cavity 38, so that the electrolyte flowing in from the heads of the "splay" petals 39 of the diffusion region 311 has enough space for diffusion, while the electrolyte flowing out from the heads of the "splay" petals 39 of the accumulation region 310 directly contacts and reacts with the electrodes 33, therefore, when the ion concentration of the electrolyte is the same, the electrolyte flowing out from the accumulation region 310 does not diffuse and then reacts with the electrodes 33, and directly reacts with the electrodes 33, that is, the ion concentration of the electrolyte flowing out from the accumulation region 310 and reacting with the electrodes 33 is higher than that of the electrolyte flowing in from the diffusion region 311 and reacting with the electrodes 33, which makes the ion concentration of the electrolyte be at or below the threshold value, the accumulation region 310 can relatively increase the ion concentration of the electrolyte, and further ensure that the battery can output a stable voltage even at a lower ion concentration of the electrolyte.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2-10, the first side plate 3102 and the second side plate 3103 are both annular plates; the collector plates 32 are embedded between the inner walls of the second side plates 3103 and used for isolating the reaction chambers of the adjacent single cells; the second side plate 3103 adjacent to the flow frame 31 is the same side plate. Preferably, the ion exchange membrane 35 includes an ion exchange membrane 35 body and a fixing frame 34 disposed outside the ion exchange membrane 35 body; the fixing frame 34 is an elastic sealing frame laminated between the first side plate 3102 on both sides thereof.
When the cell stack is installed, the current collecting plate 32 with the electrode 33 plate is installed between the inner walls of the second side plate 3103, the liquid flow frame 31 and the first side plate 3102 are integrally formed, then the ion exchange membrane 35 is placed between the two liquid flow frames 31, the two liquid flow frames 31 are laminated on two sides of the fixing frame 34, then a certain number of single cells are stacked at one time to form the cell stack, and finally, two installing plates 312 are arranged on two sides of the cell stack in a pressing mode to laminate all the single cells together, so that the cell stack of the embodiment is very convenient to install.
