Description

Technical Field

Background
Along with the development of society and the enhancement of environmental awareness of people, reasonable utilization of clean energy has been paid attention to all countries of the world, so that the utilization and development of renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy and the like are rapid. However, the intermittent nature and uncertainty of renewable energy sources limit their development, and there is a need to develop safe and efficient energy storage technologies to enable renewable energy sources to continuously and stably output electricity, thereby maximizing benefits. As the most potential large-scale chemical energy storage technology, the flow battery stores the electric energy generated by renewable energy sources in the form of chemical energy, and converts the chemical energy into electric energy for stable output when needed. In addition, flow batteries also have the characteristics of capacity infinity, design flexibility and high safety, and are considered to be the most promising large-scale energy storage technology.

When the flow battery works, electrolyte is pumped into porous electrodes at two sides of the electric pile, the ion exchange membrane separates the positive and negative electrode cavities to prevent the phenomena of electrolyte mixing, ion mutual strings and the like, and electrochemical oxidation-reduction reaction of the battery occurs on the surfaces of the electrodes. The current commercial flow battery is an all-vanadium flow battery, but the electrolyte cost is high, so that the large-scale application of the flow battery is limited to a certain extent. The iron-chromium flow battery is the first flow battery in the historic sense, has low cost and rich resources, is one of the most cost-effective energy storage systems, but has the characteristics of easy deactivation, weak circularity and the like due to the low redox activity of the cathode Cr 3+/Cr2+. Among iron complexes having redox activity, ferrocyanide is considered to be the most commonly used proton-type redox active material for the positive electrode redox active material because of its low cost, non-toxicity and cyclic stability under neutral or alkaline conditions. On the negative electrode side, a different complex is generally used to adjust the coordination environment of Fe 3+/Fe2+, change the oxidation-reduction potential and improve the stability of the active material. At present, most of developed ligands operate in a strong alkaline environment, the stability of the battery has strong pH dependency, the corrosion protection requirement on equipment is higher under strong alkalinity, and the overall operation cost of the flow battery is improved. Therefore, developing a negative electrode electrolyte that operates stably in a neutral, weakly alkaline environment is also one of the important paths for improving the practicality of all-iron flow batteries.
