摘要: 为了改善负极电解液的电化学活性,提高其能量密度,研究了钒离子浓度和硫酸浓度对电解液粘度、电导率和电化学活性的影响。结果表明,钒离子浓度和硫酸浓度通过改变电解液中的氢离子浓度和钒离子的聚集状态而影响电解液的粘度、电导率和电化学活性。负极电解液的粘度随着钒离子浓度和硫酸浓度的增加而增大;电导率随着硫酸浓度的增加而增大,但增加钒离子浓度降低溶液电导率。合适的硫酸浓度可以改善电解液的电化学活性,而提高钒离子浓度抑制了电解液传质和电荷传递过程。当钒离子浓度为2.0 mol/L,硫酸浓度为2.0 mol/L时,电解液的电化学活性和可逆性最好,其传质速率为(1.39~2.25)×10-7 cm2/s,电荷传递速率为1.74×10-5 cm/s。Abstract: In order to improve the electrochemical activity and energy density of negative electrolyte of vanadium redox flow battery,the viscosity,conductivity and electrochemical performances of the negative electrolytes at different compositions were investigated.The results show that the vanadium concentration and sulfuric acid concentration affect the viscosity,conductivity and electrochemical activity of the negative electrolyte by changing the hydrogen ions concentration and aggregation state of vanadium ions.The viscosity of the negative electrolyte increases with increase of the vanadium concentration and sulfuric acid concentration,and the conductivity increases with increase of the sulfuric acid concentration but decreases with increase of vanadium concentration.Appropriate sulfuric acid concentration can improve the electrochemical activity of the electrolyte,while increasing the vanadium concentration restrains the mass transfer and charge transfer processes for the negative electrolyte.When the vanadium concentration is 2.0 mol/L and sulfuric acid concentration is 2.0 mol/L,the electrolyte shows the best electrochemical activity and reversibility,with the mass transfer rate of(1.39~2.25)×10-7 cm2/s and the charge transfer rate of 1.74×10-5 cm/s.
