Patent ID: 11605824

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.
