Description

Method for preparing iron-chromium redox flow battery electrode material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a method for preparing an electrode material of an iron-chromium redox flow battery.
Background
The energy is props and power for civilized development, and the development of solar energy, wind energy and other clean energy power generation is an important way for achieving the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutralization. However, since renewable energy power generation does not have a continuous and stable characteristic, large-scale new energy power generation projects are not suitable for incorporation into the power grid. Therefore, the energy storage technology becomes a key support technology for realizing the large-scale application of new energy. The electrochemical energy storage capacity is large, the response is quick, the electrochemical energy storage is not limited by geographical factors, and sustainable electric energy can be effectively integrated. In large-scale energy storage projects, the lead battery has small capacity and short cycle life, and the lithium battery is inflammable, explosive and unsafe. Therefore, in recent years, it has been proposed to solve the problem of continuous power generation of new energy by using flow batteries. The flow battery system comprises an electrochemical reactor, a liquid storage tank and an electrolyte conveying unit. The system structure separates the power unit from the energy storage unit, decouples the power design and the capacity design, can carry out flexible and large-scale module design, reduces maintenance cost and prolongs the cycle life. In a plurality of flow battery systems, the iron/chromium salt solution adopted by the iron-chromium flow battery is used as a cathode and anode electrolyte, so that the cost is low, the environment is protected, and the maximum commercial prospect is achieved.
In the prior art, graphite felt is often adopted as an electrode material of the iron-chromium redox flow battery because of good chemical stability and good resistance to Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ Has good reactivity and low cost. However, unmodified graphite felt is less hydrophilic to Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ The ions exhibit poor kinetic reversibility of the redox reaction, and oxygen-containing functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, are typically introduced into the surface of the graphite felt electrode in order to increase its activityRadical, carboxyl, etc., but the modifying effect is general. In recent years, research shows that doping nitrogen atoms on the surface of the graphite felt can provide a pair of lone electron pairs and positively polarize carbon atoms on the fiber bundles, so that the electron absorption rate is accelerated. The existing modification methods for doping nitrogen elements comprise ammonia water treatment, electrochemical vapor deposition, nitrogen-containing particle wrapping and the like, but the methods have the disadvantages of large harm, high cost and complex preparation process, and are not suitable for large-scale commercial use.
