  • Publication number: 20250004058
    Abstract: The present application provides a flow battery testing device, including a housing and a testing body. The testing body includes a testing stack and a plurality of liquid path assemblies. The testing stack is provided with a plurality of liquid flow paths. An outer surface of the housing is provided with a bearing surface, and the testing stack is provided on the bearing surface. The plurality of liquid path assemblies are provided in the housing, and correspondingly cyclically communicate with the plurality of liquid flow paths one to one. By using a miniaturized flow battery testing device to replace an actual flow battery for relevant testing, it is possible to achieve test results equivalent to those of the actual flow battery, thus effectively reducing testing difficulty.

  • Publication number: 20240413369
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for recovering the battery capacity of a vanadium redox flow battery, comprising: S100: determining the overall valence of vanadium ions in electrolyte reservoirs of the battery after the discharge capacity of the battery attenuates, and charging the battery; S200: adding a reducing agent to a positive electrolyte reservoir of the battery; S300: allowing self-circulation in the positive electrolyte reservoir of the battery, so as to complete a chemical reduction reaction; S400: determining the overall valence of the vanadium ions in the electrolyte reservoirs of the battery again, and determining the residue of the reducing agent; and/or S500: replenishing the reducing agent in the positive electrolyte reservoir of the battery, and repeating steps S300 to S400 until the mean value of the overall valence of the vanadium ions in the electrolyte reservoirs of the battery returns to 3.5.
