Definitions
- the invention relates to a redox flow battery comprising at least one electrode, the electrode comprising a metallic substrate, a coating being formed at least partially on a surface of the substrate.
- redox flow batteries are used in a stationary manner, for example as domestic energy storage for single-family houses or entire blocks of flats. Furthermore, redox flow batteries can also be used in power plants for intermediate storage of generated electrical energy.
- a redox flow battery also known as a redox flow battery, stores electrical energy in chemical compounds in which the reactants are dissolved in a solvent.
- a redox flow battery stores electrical energy in chemical compounds in which the reactants are dissolved in a solvent.
- two energy-storing electrolytes circulate in two separate circuits, between which the ion exchange in the cell takes place via an ion-conducting membrane.
- the energy-storing electrolytes are stored outside the cell in separate tanks.
- Redox flow batteries are based on the principle that two electrolytes flow through the half-cells of an electrochemical cell, i.e. the battery cell, and change their oxidation state on the surface of the electrodes. The electrons given off or taken up during the half-cell reactions do work via the external circuit.
- the electrodes may be formed of metal, diamond, or indium tin oxide. The electrodes are either applied to a suitable substrate by means of coating methods such as CVD or PVD, or are produced separately and pressed onto the substrate.
- Metallic plates that are coated using the PVD process usually do not have a completely dense layer, so that the base material, i.e. the metallic plate, is not completely protected by the layer from an aggressive electrolyte. This reduces the efficiency and service life of the electrode and thus of the entire battery cell.
- WO 2018/146342 A1 discloses various lignin-based electrolyte compositions for use in redox flow batteries.
- the publication "A biomimetic high-capacity phenazine-based anolyte for aqueous organic redox flow batteries", Aaron Hollas et al., Nature energy, Vol. 3, June 2018, pages 508 - 514 describes anolytes for redox flow batteries Based on aqueous "organic” electrolytes or based on aqueous electrolytes with a redox-active organic species. These are becoming increasingly important.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a redox flow battery comprising at least one electrode with an electrolyte-tight coating.
- the production costs are to be reduced and the efficiency and service life or operating times are to be increased.
- the redox flow battery comprises at least one electrode, the electrode comprising a metallic substrate, a coating being formed at least partially on a surface of the substrate.
- the coating is formed by applying powder material using an aerosol coating process and is therefore designed to be electrolyte-tight.
- the aerosol coating process also known as the aerosol deposition method, is a dry spray coating process for producing dense layers directly from the powder material.
- the aerosol consists of the powder material and a carrier gas.
- the carrier gas can be O2, N2 or He, for example.
- a process temperature of 100° C. is preferably not exceeded during the aerosol coating process.
- the process temperature essentially corresponds to the room temperature.
- the aerosol coating process is not a high-temperature process, but is carried out particularly at room temperature.
- the substrate is placed in a vacuum chamber during the aerosol coating process whereby the powder material is deposited onto the surface of the substrate via the carrier gas.
- the powder material is combined with the carrier gas in a powder aerosol manufacturing unit. mixes and in this way the aerosol for the coating process is produced.
- the powder material is preferably solvent-free for the aerosol coating process.
- the surface of the substrate can be coated either completely or only partially.
- a mask can be used, which masks off sections of the surface of the substrate that are not to be coated and thus prevents a coating at these locations.
- the substrate is made of a steel alloy, a copper-tin alloy, an aluminum alloy or a silver alloy.
- a low-alloy steel is provided as the substrate. A cost saving can be achieved as a result.
- the coating is formed at least partially or entirely from copper, tin, titanium, carbon and/or nickel.
- the material or the composition of the powder material required to form the coating does not require any appreciable corrosion resistance, but good electrical conductivity, ie low electrical resistance, is advantageous. As a result, the efficiency of the electrode can be further increased.
- the coating is designed as a CuSn6 coating, CuSn8 coating, titanium-carbon coating, tin coating or nickel coating.
- a coating offers adequate protection against corrosion in the electrolyte. As a result, the efficiency of the electrode can be further increased.
- the coating is formed with a layer thickness of at least 5 nm to at most 500 nm.
- the layer thickness is preferably at least 50 nm to at most 250 nm.
- the layer thickness can be determined by means of light microscopic methods. In particular, ground samples can be taken and etched for this purpose in order to determine the layer thickness.
- a layer thickness in the aforementioned range offers adequate protection against corrosion in the electrolyte. As a result, the efficiency of the electrode can be further increased. Due to the small possible thickness of the electrode, small redox flow batteries can be produced which also have a low production price. For example, more than 10, in particular more than 50, electrically connected redox flow cells are used to form a redox flow battery.
- Electrochemical Stability pH range: 1 -14
- DHPS 7,8-dihydroxyphenazine-2-sulfonic acid
