Description

Catalyst in-situ preparation device for flow battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of large-scale energy storage, and particularly relates to a device for in-situ preparation of a flow battery catalyst.
Background
The flow battery is an advanced electrochemical electricity storage technology, and can be divided into the following active substances according to the adopted positive and negative electrode active substances: all-vanadium, all-lead, sulfur bromine, zinc bromine, iron chromium flow batteries and the like. For the preparation problem of the flow battery catalyst, a common method is to add precursor ions of the catalyst, such as bismuth ions, into the electrolyte after the battery is assembled, and then directly electroplate the catalyst metal bismuth to the negative electrode of the flow battery by an online in-situ electroplating method. Compared with the traditional scheme of loading the catalyst on the electrode in advance, the scheme of plating the catalyst in situ has the advantage of simple operation, and if the catalyst is damaged or has performance decay, the catalyst can be prepared in situ again.
For the in-situ electroplating process, the quality of the electroplating process directly influences whether the catalyst can be uniformly distributed on the flow battery electrode. The flow battery is generally applied to a continuous discharge scene for hours, and the volume of electrolyte stored in the liquid storage tank is often larger. The loading requirement of the catalyst on the electrode is often certain (too high loading also can block the porous electrode), so the ion concentration formed by dissolving the precursor salt of the catalyst in the electrolyte is often very low (generally less than 0.3mM), and the electrodeposited metal particles are easy to agglomerate. If the catalyst is mainly accumulated in the inlet region or the upstream region after plating, there is a possibility that the flow of the electrolyte in the porous electrode is directly blocked, resulting in deterioration of the battery performance. How to uniformly distribute the catalyst in the porous electrode is an important issue for improving the flow battery. However, the in situ plating process is currently under very rare investigation. The invention provides an electroplating device, which can uniformly distribute a catalyst on an electrode and greatly improve the performance of a flow battery.
