The electrolyte is an energy storage medium of the all-vanadium redox flow battery, is one of key materials of the all-vanadium redox flow battery, not only determines the energy storage capacity of an energy storage system of the all-vanadium redox flow battery, but also directly influences the performance and stability of the system.
At present, the preparation method of the electrolyte of the all-vanadium redox flow battery mainly comprises a chemical reduction method and an electrolytic reduction method. The chemical reduction method is to prepare electrolyte by utilizing the redox reaction of a reducing agent and high-valence vanadium oxide or vanadate, the operation is simple, but the reaction is slower, in addition, because the solid is difficult to dissolve, high sulfuric acid concentration is needed, the reducing agent and the vanadium oxide cannot be completely reacted, and the prepared electrolyte has more impurities and affects the electrochemical performance of the electrolyte; the electrolytic reduction method is that mixed solution of vanadium pentoxide and sulfuric acid is added into a cathode electrolytic tank, sulfuric acid solution is added into an anode electrolytic tank, then direct current is introduced into the anode electrolytic tank through a constant current device, and high-valence vanadium compounds in the cathode electrolytic tank undergo reduction reaction to generate low-valence vanadium ions to prepare electrolyte, so that the reaction speed is high, and the impurity ion content is low. However, during electrolysis, a higher voltage is required to maintain a higher electrolysis rate, and the high voltage accelerates the aging of the electrolytic material and the equipment. In addition, the production speed of the electrolyte is limited by the electrolytic reduction speed of the high-valence vanadium, which is not beneficial to further improving the production efficiency.
