Description

Oriented ordered electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flow batteries, in particular to a directional ordered electrode and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the increasing energy crisis and environmental problems, new energy power generation is vigorously developed in all countries of the world, and solar energy and wind energy as renewable energy resources have continuously increased in the total amount of power generation in the world. However, the intermittent and fluctuating characteristics of solar energy and wind energy cause the unstable electric output. The energy storage system with a certain scale is matched, and the instability problem of power generation and power supply of renewable energy sources can be solved by supplementing and consuming the electric quantity of the renewable energy sources, so that the stability of grid connection of wind power and photovoltaic power generation is improved. The flow battery is considered to be one of the main directions of the energy storage system due to the advantages of mutual independence of capacity and power, good safety, long cycle life and the like.
The flow battery mainly comprises the following components: electrodes, separators, and active materials, wherein the electrodes are the sites of electrochemical reactions that affect various parts of the cell loss including activation polarization, ohmic polarization, and concentration polarization. At present, electrode materials used for the flow battery mainly comprise graphite felt, carbon paper and carbon cloth, and the materials have the characteristics of high electronic conductivity, corrosion resistance, high mechanical property and the like. In addition to these commercial carbon materials with fixed macrostructures, the use of electrospinning techniques to produce carbon fibers offers more possibilities for electrode structure design.
At the present stage, the carbon fiber prepared by electrostatic spinning has larger specific surface area of the electrode due to smaller fiber diameter, but the transmission performance of the electrode is also reduced due to the reduction of the fiber diameter. The direct use of electrospun electrodes as flow cell electrodes therefore results in greater flow resistance and concentration polarization. Although some researchers have attempted to improve the uniform distribution of the electrolyte in the electrode by specifically designing the macroscopic geometry of the carbon fiber electrode so as to reduce the flow resistance thereof, the problem has not been solved effectively until now. In addition, the battery structure having the flow channels may cause non-uniform distribution of the electrolyte in the electrodes, thereby causing excessive local current density to affect the overall performance of the battery.
