Description

一种锌溴液流电池性能恢复方法A zinc-bromine flow battery performance recovery method

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及液流电池技术领域,特别涉及锌溴液流电池领域。The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid flow batteries, in particular to the field of zinc-bromine liquid flow batteries.

背景技术Background technique

风能、太阳能等可再生能源具有不连续、不稳定的特点,其这一特性会使其在并网过程中对电网造成冲击,影响电网安全稳定运行。储能技术则可以保证可再生能源发电并网的高效稳定运行。储能技术主要分为物理储能和化学储能两大类。化学储能中适用于大规模、大容量储能的氧化还原液流电池因其具有电池功率和容量相互独立、响应迅速、结构简单、易于设计等优点而受到广泛关注。锌溴液流电池作为氧化还原液流电池的一种,除具有上述优点外,还具有高开路电压(1.85V),高理论能量密度(435Wh/Kg),电解液、隔膜价格低廉等诸多优势。这些优势也使其与其它液流电池相比更具竞争力。Renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy are discontinuous and unstable, which will cause impacts on the power grid during the grid connection process, affecting the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Energy storage technology can ensure the efficient and stable operation of renewable energy power generation and grid connection. Energy storage technology is mainly divided into two categories: physical energy storage and chemical energy storage. Among chemical energy storage, redox flow batteries suitable for large-scale and large-capacity energy storage have attracted widespread attention because of their advantages such as independent battery power and capacity, rapid response, simple structure, and easy design. As a type of redox flow battery, zinc-bromine flow battery has many advantages in addition to the above advantages, such as high open circuit voltage (1.85V), high theoretical energy density (435Wh/Kg), low electrolyte and diaphragm prices, etc. These advantages also make it more competitive than other flow batteries.

锌溴液流电池在充放电运行过程中存在正负极活性物质累积的问题,而活性物质累积会使电池极化变大造成电池性能衰减,影响电池使用寿命。现有技术中锌溴液流电池恢复方法中一种是在电池运行性能下降后,于正极电解液和/或负极电解液中添加恢复剂,该恢复剂为含有羟基、醛基、羧基的与锌溴电池电解液互溶的一类具有还原性的有机或无机物,该恢复剂可以被正极溴单质氧化生成质子与有机或无机小分子产物,质子穿透隔膜到达负极与负极锌单质反应生成锌离子,从而将锌溴或锌溴单液流电池电解液恢复至初始状态(ZL201611089121.3);另一种是在电池运行一段时间后,将正极腔室内的正极电解液导入负极储罐内与负极电解液混合,然后将部分混合液再次填充至正极腔室内,通过正负极电解液互混使电池性能恢复(ZL201711213349.3)。第一种恢复方法添加恢复剂后会产生氢气,影响系统的安全稳定运行,同时由于氢溴酸的生成会使负极恢复后首圈充电过程生成的锌与氢溴酸发生化学反应,造成电池首圈充放电库伦效率偏低,此外还会产生温室气体二氧化碳;第二种方法中通过电解液互混进行电池性能恢复不会产生有害气体,但是随着活性物质浓度的增加锌负极副反应加剧,导致电解液互混后会存在正极活性物质溴的累积问题。正极活性物质溴的累积导致首圈充放电循环过程中负极充电生成的锌首先与电解液中溴发生化学反应,导致电池首圈库伦效率偏低。Zinc-bromine flow batteries have the problem of accumulation of active substances at the positive and negative electrodes during the charging and discharging process. The accumulation of active substances will increase the polarization of the battery, causing the battery performance to deteriorate and affecting the battery life. In the prior art, one method for restoring zinc-bromine flow batteries is to add a restoring agent to the positive electrode electrolyte and/or the negative electrode electrolyte after the battery operating performance declines. The restoring agent is a type of reducing organic or inorganic substance containing hydroxyl, aldehyde, or carboxyl groups that is miscible with the zinc-bromine battery electrolyte. The restoring agent can be oxidized by the positive electrode bromine element to generate protons and organic or inorganic small molecule products. The protons penetrate the diaphragm to reach the negative electrode and react with the negative electrode zinc element to generate zinc ions, thereby restoring the zinc-bromine or zinc-bromine single flow battery electrolyte to its initial state (ZL201611089121.3); the other method is to introduce the positive electrode electrolyte in the positive electrode chamber into the negative electrode storage tank and mix it with the negative electrode electrolyte after the battery has been running for a period of time, and then fill part of the mixed solution into the positive electrode chamber again, and restore the battery performance by mixing the positive and negative electrode electrolytes (ZL201711213349.3). The first recovery method generates hydrogen after adding a recovery agent, which affects the safe and stable operation of the system. At the same time, the generation of hydrobromic acid will cause the zinc generated in the first charging process after the negative electrode is restored to react chemically with hydrobromic acid, resulting in a low coulombic efficiency of the battery's first charge and discharge cycle. In addition, greenhouse gas carbon dioxide will be produced. In the second method, battery performance recovery by mixing electrolytes will not produce harmful gases, but as the concentration of active substances increases, the side reaction of zinc at the negative electrode intensifies, resulting in the accumulation of bromine, the active substance at the positive electrode, after the electrolytes are mixed. The accumulation of bromine, the active substance at the positive electrode, causes the zinc generated by the negative electrode charging during the first charge and discharge cycle to react chemically with bromine in the electrolyte first, resulting in a low coulombic efficiency of the battery's first cycle.

When the battery voltage drops to 0V, zinc powder is added to the positive and negative electrode storage tanks respectively until the electrolytes in the positive and negative electrode storage tanks become colorless.

The battery performance in the first cycle and after the battery was restored after 800 cycles is as follows:

随着活性物质浓度的增加,电池CE、VE均有所下降,这主要是由于随着活性物质浓度的增加电池副反应加剧导致电池CE降低;电解液电导率下降导致电池VE降低所致。恢复后不同浓度溴化锌电解液CE均可达到初始水平。As the concentration of active substances increases, the battery CE and VE both decrease. This is mainly due to the intensification of battery side reactions as the concentration of active substances increases, which leads to a decrease in battery CE; the decrease in electrolyte conductivity leads to a decrease in battery VE. After recovery, the CE of zinc bromide electrolytes of different concentrations can reach the initial level.

The electrode was carbon felt, the electrolyte flow rate was 60ml/min, the current density was 40mA/cm 2 , the electrode effective area was 36cm 2 , the battery charging cut-off voltage was 2V, the discharge cut-off voltage was 0.5V, and the volume of the positive and negative electrolytes was 80ml each.

The battery using this recovery method had a first cycle CE of 90.1%, VE of 85.1%, and EE of 76.7% after recovery. This is mainly due to the presence of bromine in the electrolyte after the battery was mixed to 0V due to the presence of side reactions at the negative electrode.

此外,采用该种恢复方法电池再次运行200循环即需进行一次恢复,恢复后首圈电池CE89.2%,VE84.2%,EE75.1%。与采用互混后添加锌粉恢复方法相比,恢复后的电池首圈库伦效率CE偏低,电池恢复频率增加。In addition, the battery needs to be restored after running 200 cycles using this recovery method.

Using this recovery method, the battery CE was 92.1%, VE was 85.1%, and EE was 78.4% after the first cycle of recovery. This is mainly due to the reaction of formic acid with accumulated bromine to generate HBr, and the chemical reaction of zinc generated during the first cycle of charging with HBr.
