  • Patent number: 11251452
    Abstract: A method is provided for restoring an electrolyte of vanadium (V) redox flow battery (VRFB). Electrolyte data of an original system are analyzed in advance. A reusable positive electrode is further equipped with a V electrolyte. A reductant for a stack of VRFB is used in coordination as an electrolysis device. After a long-term reaction with a VRFB having a high valence (greater than 3.5), an electrolyte at the positive electrode is directed out to a negative electrode of the electrolysis device; and, then, electrolysis is processed after accurate calculation. In the end, the internal fluid balancing method of the original system is combined. Thus, a harmless and quick valence restoration is processed for the electrolyte of the original system, which is a final resort for the restoration of V electrolyte.

  • Publication number: 20190221862
    Abstract: A method is provided to fabricate a Nafion separating membrane for achieving low impedance and low permeability. Sodium 4-styrenesulfonate (NASS) is grafted to the surface of the membrane through an oxygen plasma induced grafting technique. A modified Nafion-g-NASS membrane is thus fabricated for a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) with the permeability of vanadium ions reduced and the conductivity of protons improved. The modified membrane shows higher ion exchange capacity and permeating conductivity along with enhanced voltage efficiency (VE), coulombic efficiency (CE) and energy efficiency (EE). Due to the low permeability of vanadium ions, the VRFB with the modified membrane shows slower self-discharge than that with the pristine Nafion membrane. After 200 cycles of charging and discharging, the VE, CE and EE remain stable. In particular, the modified VRFB shows a higher rate of capacity retention than the pristine VRFB.
