- Active materials used for redox flow batteries generally have a positive charge.

- the iron group element is a general term for Fe, Co, and Ni
- the non-iron group element ion means a metal element ion other than the iron group element ion.
- an RF electrolyte By classifying metal element ions into iron group element ions and non-ferrous group element ions, an RF electrolyte can be efficiently produced. Since iron group elements have similar properties, they can often be removed under similar (single) conditions when it is necessary to remove impurity element ions from the RF electrolyte. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the conditions in order to remove individual element ions, and the productivity of the RF electrolyte solution is excellent. At this time, the total concentration of iron group element ions contained in the RF electrolyte is preferably 50 mass ppm or less. Thereby, generation
- the total concentration of non-ferrous group element ions involved in the generation of precipitates is 155 mass ppm or less. Since the active material used for the RF battery tends to have properties similar to Fe, it is assumed that it is difficult to selectively remove only the iron group element ions without removing the active material. Even in such a case, if the non-ferrous group element ions are removed, the active material is less likely to be removed, and the total amount of impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates can be suppressed to 220 ppm by mass or less.
- Iron group element ions and other element ions The present inventors also classified the impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates into iron group element ions and other element ions, respectively. We have found that there is a preferred total concentration when In this classification, the iron group element ion is a general term for Fe, Co, and Ni as described above, and is involved in the generation of precipitates. Other element ions are element ions obtained by removing iron group element ions from impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates.
- the RF electrolyte solution can be efficiently manufactured as in (1) above.

- C) The total concentration of iron group element ions is 50 mass ppm or less.
- Element ions belonging to Group 9; element ions belonging to Group 10; and element ions belonging to other groups have identified impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates as elements belonging to Group 9 Even when classified into ions (group 9 element ions), element ions belonging to group 10 (group 10 element ions), and element ions belonging to other groups (hereinafter referred to as element ions of other groups), We have found that there is a preferred total concentration when
- the group 9 element ion and the group 10 element ion include both an element ion involved in the generation of precipitates and a platinum group ion that promotes the generation of hydrogen as shown in a test example described later. Since homologous elements have similar properties, they can often be removed under similar (single) conditions when removing impurity element ions from the RF electrolyte. In addition, when it is difficult to remove one of the group 9 element ions and the group 10 element ions, the total concentration of the element ions of the group that can be easily removed and the total concentration of the element ions of the other group may be adjusted. Therefore, in this classification, it is not necessary to change the conditions in order to remove individual element ions.
- the impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates are at least the following (e) to (g): It is preferable to satisfy one.
- E) The total concentration of group 9 element ions is 2 mass ppm or less.
- F) The total concentration of group 10 element ions is 5 mass ppm or less.
- G) The total concentration of other group element ions is 190 mass ppm or less. It is because generation
- Element ions other than the active material belonging to the same period as the active material element ion and element ions belonging to the other period The present inventors have determined that the impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates have the same period as the active material element ions. It has also been found that there is a preferable total concentration when each of the element ions other than the active material belonging to the above and the element ions belonging to other periods are classified. For example, when the active material is vanadium, there is a preferable total concentration when the active material is classified into element ions other than vanadium belonging to the fourth period and element ions belonging to periods other than the fourth period.
- Element ions other than the active material element ions belonging to the same period as the active material element ions are considered to have similar properties to the active material element ions. Therefore, a composite oxide containing active material element ions and inactive material element ions having the same period may become a precipitate. Therefore, reducing the concentration of the inactive material element ions having the same period is effective in suppressing the generation of precipitates. On the other hand, it may be difficult to distinguish and remove inactive material element ions and active material element ions of the same period. Even in such a case, the productivity of the RF electrolyte solution is excellent by selectively removing element ions belonging to other periods.
- the RF electrolyte solution has a total concentration of impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates of 220 mass ppm or less during the battery reaction, and the impurity element ions involved in the generation of precipitates are the following (h ) And (i) are preferably satisfied.
- the total concentration of element ions belonging to the fourth period is 115 mass ppm or less.
- the total concentration of element ions other than the fourth period is 111 mass ppm or less. This effectively prevents the generation of precipitates in the RF battery. This is because it can be suppressed.
- element ions included in the group consisting of impurity element ions and platinum group element ions involved in the generation of precipitates are iron group element ions and elements obtained by removing iron group element ions from the above group
- the total concentration of iron group element ions is 50 mass ppm or less
- the total concentration of element ions excluding the iron group element ions from the group is at least 185 mass ppm. Satisfy one side.

- element ions included in the group of impurity element ions and platinum group element ions involved in the generation of precipitates are classified into inactive material element ions of the same period and element ions belonging to other periods. When classified, at least one of (h) the total concentration of the inactive material element ions of the same period is 115 mass ppm or less and (i) the total concentration of the element ions belonging to the other period is 115 mass ppm or less is satisfied.
- the concentration of V ions is 1 mol / L or more and 3 mol / L or less
- the concentration of free sulfuric acid is 1 mol / L or more and 4 mol / L or less
- ammonium (NH 4 ) concentration of 20 mass ppm or less and silicon (Si) concentration of 40 mass ppm or less. It is preferable that
- the average valence of the RF electrolyte solution is about 3.3 or more and 3.7 or less.
- Such an average valence RF electrolyte solution has a good balance of V ion concentration of each valence as both the positive electrode side electrolyte solution and the negative electrode side electrolyte solution. Therefore, when an RF battery is configured using such an average valence RF electrolyte, the capacity of the RF battery can be made very high.
- precipitation for example, ammonium-vanadium compound precipitated during the battery reaction can be prevented. Can be suppressed.
- Si can adversely affect the diaphragm, it is possible to suppress this adverse effect by setting the concentration below the above specific concentration.
- the positive electrode tank 106, the negative electrode tank 107, and the pipes 108 to 111 are members in contact with the RF electrolyte solution. Therefore, there is a possibility that these element (106 to 111) contain or adhere to impurity element ions or platinum group element ions involved in the generation of precipitates during the battery reaction. In this case, the content of the impurity element ions or platinum group element ions in the RF electrolyte may increase with the operation of the RF battery 1. Therefore, it is preferable to use a material that does not contain the impurity element ions or platinum group element ions as the constituent materials of these members (106 to 111).
- those containing no impurity element ions or platinum group element ions for example, the impurity element ions or platinum group elements included in a mold release agent for producing the member
- those not containing ions it is preferable to use those not containing ions.
- the constituent material of the member (106-111), density (ASTM D 1505) is in 0.080 g / cm 3 or more 0.960 g / cm 3 within the range, the melt flow rate (ASTM D 1238, measured Conditions: 190 ° C., load 2.16 kg) of ethylene homopolymer in the range of 0.01 g / 10 min to 20 g / 10 min, or ethylene / ⁇ -olein co-polymer with density and melt flow rate in the above range Examples include coalescence. The same applies to the above-described members (106 to 111) in the transport tank for transporting the RF electrolyte solution.

First, a carbon felt positive electrode and negative electrode having an electrode area of 500 cm 2 were prepared. The total mass of both electrodes was about 35 g. In addition, three types of RF electrolytes having different impurity element ion concentrations were prepared as RF electrolytes, and three types of two-hour capacity RF batteries were prepared using the respective RF electrolytes. The prepared RF electrolyte solution has the following common basic configuration.

本願発明の実施形態に係るRF電解液を、以下に図面を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本発明はこれらの実施形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
RF電池1は、代表的には、交流/直流変換器を介して、発電部(例えば、太陽光発電装置や風力発電装置、その他一般の発電所など)と負荷(需要家など)との間に接続され、発電部で発電した電力を充電して蓄え、又は、蓄えた電力を放電して負荷に供給する。このRF電池1は、従来のRF電池と同様に、電池セル100と、この電池セル100に電解液を供給する循環機構(タンク、配管、ポンプ)とを備える。
RF電池1における電池セル100は、正極電極104を内蔵する正極セル102と、負極電極105を内蔵する負極セル103と、両セル102,103を分離すると共にイオンを透過する隔膜101とを備える。正極セル102には、正極電解液を貯留する正極用タンク106が配管108,110を介して接続されている。負極セル103には、負極電解液を貯留する負極用タンク107が配管109,111を介して接続されている。また、配管108,109にはそれぞれ、両極の電解液を循環させるポンプ112,113が設けられている。電池セル100は、配管108~111とポンプ112,113によって、正極セル102(正極電極104)及び負極セル103(負極電極105)にそれぞれ正極用タンク106の正極電解液及び負極用タンク107の負極電解液を循環供給して、両極における電解液中の活物質となる金属イオン(本実施形態ではVイオン)の価数変化に伴って充放電を行う。
本実施形態のRF電解液は、溶媒中に活物質となる元素イオンを含有させた液体であって、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンの濃度が非常に低い。また、後述する試験例に示すように、白金族元素イオンの濃度を必要に応じて所定値以下にすることができる。本実施形態では、正極電解液および負極電解液で、Vイオンを活物質として含有するRF電解液を使用している。ここでは、正極電解液および負極電解液におけるVイオンの平均価数は3.3以上3.7以下、濃度は1mol/L以上3mol/Lとすることが好ましい。より好ましい平均価数は3.4以上3.6以下、Vイオン濃度は1.5mol/L以上1.9mol/L以下である。
本発明者らの検討の結果、RF電解液中の析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンの総量が、RF電解液中で220質量ppm以下であれば、析出物(代表的には活物質由来の酸化物)の発生を効果的に抑制できることが判明した。また、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンを、金属元素イオンと非金属元素イオンとに分類したときに、それぞれ満たすと好ましい合計濃度が存在することを見出した。これにより、RF電池における析出物の発生を効果的に抑制できる。また、RF電解液の原料やRF電解液から、除去しやすい分類の元素イオンを選択的に除去すれば、RF電解液の製造効率に優れる。以下、金属元素イオンと非金属元素イオンとにつき説明する。
本実施形態のRF電解液においては、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンに含まれる金属元素イオンの合計濃度が195質量ppm以下であることが好ましい。これにより、RF電池における析出物の発生を効果的に抑制できるからである。
(1)Crイオン:10質量ppm以下
(2)Mnイオン:1質量ppm以下
(3)Feイオン:40質量ppm以下
(4)Coイオン:2質量ppm以下
(5)Niイオン:5質量ppm以下
(6)Cuイオン:1質量ppm以下
(7)Znイオン:1質量ppm以下
(8)Moイオン:20質量ppm以下
(9)Sbイオン:1質量ppm以下
(10)Naイオン:30質量ppm以下
(11)Mgイオン:20質量ppm以下
(12)Alイオン:15質量ppm以下
(13)Kイオン:20質量ppm以下
(14)Caイオン:30質量ppm以下
非金属元素イオンは、周期表上で金属元素に分類される元素以外の元素のイオンである。本実施形態のRF電解液においては、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンに含まれる非金属元素イオンの合計濃度が21質量ppm以下であることが好ましい。RF電池における析出物の発生を効果的に抑制できるからである。
(15)Clイオン:20質量ppm以下
(16)Asイオン:1質量ppm以下
不純物元素イオンの合計濃度を調整したRF電解液とするためには、できるだけ不純物元素イオンの含有量が少ない活物質の原料、および溶媒(例えば硫酸)を用いることが好ましい。しかし、製造工程等で、RF電解液に不純物元素イオンが混入してしまうおそれもある。よって、必要に応じて、RF電解液に対して、凝集沈殿、溶媒抽出、イオン交換樹脂やキレート樹脂を用いたろ過、電解析出、膜分離等の公知の方法を行うことで、不純物元素イオンの合計濃度を低減させてもよい。特に、キレート樹脂を用いたろ過であれば、キレート樹脂の物性やRF電解液のpHを調整することで特定の元素イオンを選択的にろ過できるので好ましい。ろ過の方法としては、キレート樹脂製のフィルター、キレート樹脂をビーズ状にして充填したカラム等にRF電解液を通液すればよい。
(1)鉄族元素イオンと非鉄族元素イオン
本発明者らは、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンのうち、金属元素イオンを重金属元素イオンと軽金属元素イオンとに分類するのではなく、鉄族元素イオンと非鉄族元素イオンとに分類した場合にも、それぞれが満たすと好ましい合計濃度が存在することを見出した。ここで、鉄族元素とは、Fe、Co、およびNiの総称であり、非鉄族元素イオンとは、鉄族元素イオン以外の金属元素イオンをいう。
(a)鉄族元素イオンの合計濃度が50質量ppm以下
(b)非鉄族元素イオンの合計濃度が155質量ppm以下
本発明者らは、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンを、鉄族元素イオンとこれ以外の元素イオンとに分類した場合にも、それぞれが満たすと好ましい合計濃度が存在することを見出した。本分類では、鉄族元素イオンとは、上記同様、Fe、Co、Niの総称であり、析出物の発生に関与する。これ以外の元素イオンとは、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンから鉄族元素イオンを除いた元素イオンである。
(c)鉄族元素イオンの合計濃度が50質量ppm以下
(d)析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンから鉄族元素イオンを除いた元素イオンの合計濃度が180質量ppm以下
これにより、RF電池における析出物の発生を効果的に抑制できるからである。
本発明者らは、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンを、9族に属する元素イオン(9族元素イオン)と、10族に属する元素イオン(10族元素イオン)と、これら以外の族に属する元素イオン(以下、他族の元素イオンという)とに分類した場合にも、それぞれが満たすと好ましい合計濃度が存在することを見出した。
(e)9族元素イオンの合計濃度が2質量ppm以下
(f)10族元素イオンの合計濃度が5質量ppm以下
(g)他族の元素イオンの合計濃度が190質量ppm以下
これにより、RF電池における析出物の発生を効果的に抑制できるからである。
本発明者らは、析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンを活物質元素イオンと同じ周期に属する活物質以外の元素イオンと他の周期に属する元素イオンとに分類した場合にも、それぞれが満たすと好ましい合計濃度が存在することを見出した。例えば、活物質がバナジウムの場合、第4周期に属するバナジウム以外の元素イオンと第4周期以外の周期に属する元素イオンとに分類した場合に、それぞれが満たすと好ましい合計濃度が存在する。
(h)第4周期に属する元素イオンの合計濃度が115質量ppm以下
(i)第4周期以外の元素イオンの合計濃度が111質量ppm以下
これにより、RF電池における析出物の発生を効果的に抑制できるからである。
RF電解液の活物質をバナジウムとし、溶媒を硫酸とする場合においては、Vイオンの濃度を1mol/L以上3mol/L以下、フリーの硫酸の濃度を1mol/L以上4mol/L以下、リン酸の濃度を1.0×10-4mol/L以上7.1×10-1mol/L以下、アンモニウム(NH4)の濃度を20質量ppm以下、ケイ素(Si)の濃度を40質量ppm以下とすることが好ましい。
正極用タンク106、負極用タンク107、および配管108~111は、上記RF電解液が接触する部材である。そのため、これらの部材(106~111)に電池反応の際に析出物の発生に関与する不純物元素イオンや、白金族元素イオンが含有されていたり付着したりしているおそれがある。この場合、RF電池1の運転に伴いRF電解液における上記不純物元素イオンや白金族元素イオンの含有量が上昇する可能性がある。そこで、これらの部材(106~111)の構成材料には、上記不純物元素イオンや白金族元素イオンを含まない材料を用いることが好ましい。また、これらの部材(106~111)の製造工程において、上記不純物元素イオンや白金族元素イオンを含まないもの(例えば、部材を作製する金型の離型剤に上記不純物元素イオンや白金族元素イオンを含まないもの)を用いることが好ましい。例えば、部材(106~111)の構成材料には、密度(ASTM D 1505)が0.080g/cm3以上0.960g/cm3以下の範囲内にあり、メルトフローレート(ASTM D 1238,測定条件:190℃、荷重2.16kg)が0.01g/10分以上20g/10分以下の範囲内にあるエチレン単独重合体、あるいは上記の範囲の密度とメルトフローレートのエチレン・αオレイン共重合体などが挙げられる。なお、RF電解液を輸送する輸送タンクにおいても、上記部材(106~111)と同様のことが言える。
試験例1では、実際の運用に供するRF電池を想定して充放電試験を行なった。まず、電極面積が500cm2の炭素フェルト製の正極電極と負極電極とを用意した。両電極の合計質量は約35gであった。また、RF電解液として、不純物元素イオンの濃度が異なる3種類のRF電解液を用意し、それぞれのRF電解液を用いて3種類の2時間容量のRF電池を作製した。用意したRF電解液は、下記の共通基本構成を備える。

充放電方法 :定電流
電流密度 :70(mA/cm2)
充電終了電圧:1.55(V)
放電終了電圧:1.00(V)
温度 :25℃
≪分類1≫
試験例1の結果から、各不純物元素イオンのうち、析出物の発生に関与するものと、水素の発生を促進するものとを特定するために、不純物元素イオンを金属元素と非金属元素とに分類した。さらに、金属元素を重金属元素と軽金属元素とに、重金属元素を白金族元素とそれ以外とに分類した。そして、各分類の元素イオンの合計濃度が異なる複数の電解液を用意し、いずれの分類が析出物の発生に関与し、いずれの分類が水素の発生を促進するかを検討した。本試験例に用いた各RF電解液の不純物元素イオンの濃度を表2から表4に示す。各表中の数値は、濃度(質量ppm)を表す。なお、不純物元素イオンの濃度の調整方法、および、充放電条件は試験例1と同様である。
