The vanadium redox flow battery is mainly composed of four parts: storage tank, pump, electrolyte and stack. The stack is composed of multiple single cells connected in series. The single cells are separated by bipolar plates.
The structure is shown in the figure. The key components of VRB, such as electrode, ion exchange membrane, bipolar plate and electrolyte, are used as inputs in the model to simulate the establishment of all vanadium flow battery energy storage system with different requirements (Fig. 3 ).
To introduce sulfur element into the carbon-based electrode, sulfur-containing materials, such as chlorosulfonic acid , ammonium persulfate , thiourea , ammonia sulfate, sodium thiosulfate and sulfuric acid [122, 123], were used in electrode modification of all-vanadium flow batteries.
The ion exchange membrane not only separates the positive and negative electrolytes of the same single cell to avoid short circuits, but also conducts cations and/or anions to achieve a current loop, which plays a decisive role in the coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency of the vanadium redox flow battery.
The battery employs vanadyl sulphate in sulphuric acid solution as the electrolyte, carbon felt as the electrode material, and an ion-selective membrane as the separator. Working parameters, storage life, and a comparison of the characteristics with other battery systems are also presented.
The chemical surface and physical structure directly affect the mass transport and redox reaction processes of active species, determining the charge–discharge performance of VFBs. Modifying the electrode to improve its mass transport and redox reaction process is important the enhancement of all-vanadium flow batteries.
