Scientists will develop large-scale energy storage battery technology

He said: & other; We want to develop new nano porous membrane materials and low cost of electrolyte material, through molecular design fundamentally improve the ionic conduction ability and selectivity of membrane, combining processing technique was used to prepare nano membrane, photovoltaic solar power generation project integrated new electrolyte material, is expected to develop the next generation of new, cheap, environmental protection, monocrystalline silicon slicing work doing good high energy density flow battery technology. ” Song Qilei introduce to the Xinhua News Agency said, & other; Traditional lithium-ion batteries is encapsulate the electrolyte and electrode material, organic liquid electrolyte thermal stability is restricted, prone to detonation, limited security; Monocrystalline silicon slicing work good stem flow, in contrast, the battery will be able to charge and discharge of the electrolyte materials and electrical unit decoupling, this is the cathode electrolyte can be stored in the container separately, photovoltaic power generation is introduced and then through the pump to within the battery charge and discharge, high safety, energy can be stored for a long time, very suitable for large-scale application of energy storage system. Imperial college, Dr Song Qilei won the European research council start-up fund of 1. 5 million euros ( Us $1. 6 million) Project funding. Significantly restrict the performance of the material flow battery performance and production costs and other factors. ” At present, the common flow cell is all vanadium flow batteries, photovoltaic power station and operate this battery USES is commercialization of vanadium and ion exchange membrane material, but the cost is very high active material and the diaphragm, limits the flow mass use of the battery. According to the team, the new membrane materials technology not only can be used in battery, the future in wastewater treatment, gases purification such as energy and environmental protection field also has a good application prospect. 26 imperial college London, said the university scholars have obtained funding from the European Union, developing a new generation of flow battery technology. Song Qilei in imperial college laboratory showed reporters a key component of flow battery & ndash; — The diaphragm. With electric vehicles and new energy storage needs rise, the industry is looking forward to a better battery technology, including flow battery in large-scale energy storage system has very good prospects. His team will work with the university of Edinburgh, university of Cambridge, and agencies in Europe and China to develop this kind of battery technology.
