Recently, Zhang Huamin, a researcher in the Department of Energy Storage Technology of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and a team led by Li Xianfeng have made progress in the new system of flow batteries and developed a new generation of low-energy neutral liquid zinc-iron liquid with high energy density. Battery system, research results published online in "German Applied Chemistry".
Large-scale energy storage technology is a key core technology for achieving the universal application of renewable energy. Because of its high safety, large-scale energy storage, high efficiency, and long life, flow batteries have great applications in large-scale energy storage applications. prospect. All-vanadium flow batteries are one of the most mature liquid-flow battery technologies currently in development and are now in the industrial demonstration stage. However, the battery still has the problem of low energy density and high cost. To this end, the research team selected FeCl2 and ZnBr2 as the active materials with lower cost, and constructed a neutral flow battery system. Complexation technology was used to solve the problem of iron hydrolysis under neutral conditions. The use of porous ion-conducting membranes to replace traditional ion-exchange membranes solved the problem of increased membrane internal resistance due to iron ion contamination and improved the neutral ions in the membrane. The conductivity improves the performance and stability of neutral zinc-iron flow batteries. The battery has an energy efficiency of more than 86% at a working current density of 40 mA/cm2, and there is no significant degradation in the performance of continuous operation over 100 cycles. The active substance concentration of this system can reach 2M, and its volume energy density can reach 56Wh/L. More importantly, compared with other flow battery systems, the system has a lower cost (<400RMB/kWh) and shows a good application prospect. This work has important guiding significance for the research and development of a new generation of flow batteries.
The research work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Frontier Key Project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the “Young Talents†of the Young People’s Plan of the Central Organization Department, and the Collaborative Innovation Center for Energy Materials Chemistry of the Ministry of Education.
