Study on the chemical synthesis and the performance of V(III)-V(IV) electrolyte

Vanadium redox flow battery is a highly efficient storage energy installs.The electrolyte influence the battery capacity directly.V(Ⅲ)-V(Ⅳ) electrolyte of vanadium redox flow battery was prepared by chemical method with V2O3,V2O5 and H2SO4 in this paper.The impacts of the additives of alcohol and sodium pyrophosphate on the stability and the electrochemical activity of electrolyte were investigated.The experimental results showed that the electrolyte with V(Ⅲ)/V(Ⅳ) concentration ratio of 1.0 was acquired with the V2O3/V2O5 mass ratio of 7.2∶1.And the stability and the electrochemical activity of the electrolyte were improved by adding the additives.
