Abstract: An aqueous iodine-based battery based on multi-electron transfer includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a current collector, an electrolyte, and a separator. A porous carbon felt is used as the electrode material on both sides of the positive and negative electrodes, and a polymer film is used as the membrane material. Both the positive and negative electrolytes are stored in the porous carbon felt electrodes. Both the positive and negative electrolytes are acidic mixed solutions containing I? and Cd?; during charging, I? at the positive electrode is charged to Cd(IO3)2, which realizes a electrochemical reaction of six-electron transfer, and the negative electrode involves the deposition of Cd? as a Cd metal; and the process is reversed during discharging. In order to improve the kinetics and reversibility of the multi-electron transfer process, additional additives are added to the solution to improve the electrochemical reversibility of the overall reaction.

Abstract: An amine-bromine two electron electrolyte of flow battery and the use thereof, and a flow battery are provided. In the electrolyte, an amino compound with an electron-withdrawing group at the ortho-position of an amino group is used to react with bromine charged to a positive valence so as to form an amine-bromine compound, such that positive-valence bromine is stabilized, and a reversible two-electron transfer reaction from bromine ions to amino compounds is achieved. The amine compounds have different solubilities and produce different voltages depending on their substituent groups, and thus have extensive adjustability and applicability for use in acidic, neutral, and weak alkaline flow battery systems. Flow batteries assembled with the electrolyte prepared using this reaction has the advantages of low cost and high energy density, and can achieve a longer cycle life and higher battery efficiency.

Abstract: A zinc iodine flow battery includes a positive end plate, a positive current collector, a negative current collector, a positive electrode with a flow frame, a membrane, a negative electrode with a flow frame, a negative end plate. The negative electrolyte is circulated between the negative storage tank and the negative cavity by pump. The negative pipe is provided with a branch pipe for the positive electrolyte circulation. The porous membrane between the positive and negative electrodes can realize the conduction of supporting electrolyte and prevent the diffusion of I3? to the negative electrolyte. In a duel-flow battery system, same electrolyte serves as both the positive electrolyte and the negative electrolyte, which is a mixed aqueous solution containing iodized and zinc salt. The membrane is porous membrane does not contain ion exchange group. Both the positive and negative electrolyte are neutral solutions.

Abstract: The neutral zinc manganese battery includes a neutral zinc manganese flow battery and a power battery. The flow battery includes positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte and membrane. The corresponding flow battery includes positive and negative pumps, pipelines and storage tanks. For the power battery, the electrolyte is stored in the porous electrode, while for the flow battery, the positive and negative electrolyte flows through the positive and negative electrodes through the pump and pipeline and finally returns to the storage tank to realize the circulation of electrolyte in the electrode chamber and storage tank. In addition, the positive and negative electrode electrolyte is a neutral solution of zinc salt and manganese salt with specific composition. During charging, MnO2 of the positive electrode can be oxidized directly to ?-MnO2. During discharge, MnO2 dissolves into Mn2+.
