Description

All-vanadium battery electrolyte and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of vanadium batteries and preparation thereof, in particular to an all-vanadium battery electrolyte and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The all-vanadium battery is a novel green pollution-free chemical energy storage battery, realizes the storage and release of electric energy through the mutual conversion among vanadium ions in different valence states, has the advantages of high energy conversion rate, long theoretical service life, quick charge and discharge, mutually independent functions and capacities and the like, avoids the cross pollution caused by the mutual permeation of different types of active substances between the positive half battery and the negative half battery, and has good application prospects in the fields of renewable energy power storage, secondary energy storage, power grid peak regulation and the like.
The all-vanadium battery comprises a positive electrode and a negative electrode separated by a diaphragm, wherein the electrodes are composed of active substances and current collectors, the electrolyte generally takes sulfuric acid as supporting liquid, and the positive electrode electrolyte contains V 4+ /V 5+ Ion, negative electrode electrolyte contains V 2+ /V 3+ Ions. After the battery is charged, the positive electrode is V 5+ Ion solution with negative electrode V 2+ An ionic solution; after discharge, the positive electrode is V 4+ Ion solution with negative electrode V 3+ Ionic solution, inside of cell through H + Conducting electricity.
The energy density of the all-vanadium battery depends on the concentration of vanadium ions in the electrolyte, and the electrolyte with high vanadium concentration can realize high specific energy of the battery, but high-valence vanadium species can be hydrolyzed to generate precipitation phenomena due to concentration rise, temperature rise and the like. Vanadium ions of low valence, in particular V 4+ And V 3+ The vanadium-containing catalyst has certain solubility in sulfuric acid solution, but the vanadium concentration is more than 2mol/L at low temperature, and the vanadium-containing catalyst is easy to crystallize and precipitate. Therefore, the vanadium battery with the vanadium concentration more than 2mol/L is relatively unstable and difficult to operate; total vanadium concentration of electrolyte of all-vanadium battery is generally<2mol/L, the applicable temperature is limited within the range of 10-40 ℃, the specific energy of the battery is restricted from being improved, and the use temperature environment is restricted, so that the commercial application of the battery is hindered.
CN108054413B discloses a method for preparing a high-energy 3.5-valence sulfur-salt mixed acid system vanadium electrolyte, which comprises the steps of sequentially adding sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid into a 3.5-valence vanadium mixture to prepare the hydrochloric acid-sulfuric acid system electrolyte. The method can effectively prevent vanadium ion from precipitating by adding hydrochloric acid, improve the stability of vanadium ion, and ensure H required by electrolyte conduction by adding sulfuric acid + The concentration of vanadium ions in the obtained electrolyte is 1.5-3.9mol/L, and no precipitate is generated when the electrolyte is placed at the temperature of-20-50 ℃ for more than 60 days. The electrolyte obtained by the method has high concentration of vanadium ions through the reaction with Cl in the solution - Stable coordination and Cl - Too high a concentration, HCl is easily volatilized or V is easily generated in the system 5+ Oxidation produces chlorine. Thus, the methodWith HCl and H 2 SO 4 As the supporting solution of the electrolyte, through intensive research, the most suitable vanadium concentration in the system is 2.5mol/L, and the vanadium battery electrolyte higher than 2.5mol/L needs higher concentration of Cl - Ion coordination is maintained, and HCl or Cl is easy to appear in battery operation 2 And (3) emission risk.
CN102227029a discloses a high-concentration vanadium electrolyte and a preparation method thereof, the method uses electrolyte containing tetravalent and pentavalent vanadium ions as an anode active material, uses electrolyte containing trivalent and divalent vanadium ions as a cathode active material, and simultaneously adds methanesulfonic acid into the electrolyte, wherein the total vanadium concentration in the electrolyte can reach 2-4mol/L. The electrolyte improves stability by adding the coordination of methylsulfonate and vanadium ions, but the methylsulfonic acid has high viscosity, and although the improvement effect of stable vanadium concentration is obvious, the electrolyte is influenced by viscosity and H + The influence of the concentration greatly influences the conductivity of the electrolyte, and the charge and discharge effects of the battery are poor.
CN102306820a discloses a method for preparing electrolyte for vanadium battery, which comprises adding sulfuric acid and methanesulfonic acid into positive electrode or negative electrode electrolyte of vanadium ion, wherein the concentration of vanadium in the obtained methanesulfonic acid-sulfuric acid system electrolyte can reach 0.8-5mol/L. In the method, the stability of the high-concentration vanadium electrolyte is enhanced mainly through coordination of the methylsulfonic acid and vanadium ions, but researches show that the methylsulfonic acid exceeds 1mol/L in a 3mol/L sulfuric acid system, the viscosity of the solution is obviously increased, and the conductivity is seriously attenuated. Therefore, the concentration of sulfuric acid and methylsulfonic acid is limited, the concentration of vanadium in the electrolyte is 2mol/L, which is the optimal working concentration of the battery, the vanadium concentration is further improved, and the working efficiency of the battery is not obviously improved.
CN103515641a discloses a trivalent vanadium ion electrolyte, a preparation method thereof and a vanadium battery, the method uses sulfuric acid solution containing vanadyl sulfate as a cathode, uses the sulfuric acid solution as an anode, performs constant-voltage electrolysis to obtain the trivalent vanadium ion electrolyte with the molar ratio of trivalent vanadium to all vanadium being greater than 0.98, the vanadium concentration is 1-3mol/L, and the electrolysis temperature is 20-40 ℃. In order to avoid the introduction of impurity ions, the process needs a high-purity vanadium raw material, and has high price, so that the production cost of the vanadium battery electrolyte is increased.
CN105006585a discloses a method for preparing electrolyte for all-vanadium redox flow battery, which uses oxalic acid and other reducing agents to reduce part of vanadium pentoxide, then adds stabilizer, and places the mixture in an electrolytic tank for constant current electrolysis to obtain mixed electrolyte of 3-valence vanadium and 4-valence vanadium, and the total vanadium concentration is 1.0-5.0mol/L. The method also needs vanadium pentoxide with purity of more than 99.5 percent as a raw material, however, the high-purity vanadium raw material has high price, which is not beneficial to the large-scale production of the electrolyte.
According to the comprehensive research, the problems of low vanadium concentration and small applicable temperature range of the electrolyte of the all-vanadium battery are generally found, and the energy density of the vanadium battery is not improved. Although there have been studies in which stability of an electrolyte is improved by changing a system of a supporting solution, such as a hydrochloric acid-sulfuric acid system, a methanesulfonic acid-sulfuric acid system, etc., there is a decrease in conductivity or a decrease in Cl due to an increase in viscosity of the electrolyte - And the problems of excessively high release of harmful gases and the like, and the optimized vanadium ion concentration is still below 2.5mol/L. In addition, as can be seen from the preparation method of the electrolyte, the existing all-vanadium battery electrolyte needs to adopt high-purity vanadium products such as vanadyl sulfate, vanadic anhydride and the like, so that the cost is high, the complexity of the preparation process is increased, and the industrial application of the all-vanadium battery electrolyte is not facilitated.
Therefore, the high-stability high-concentration all-vanadium battery electrolyte and the preparation method thereof have important significance.
