Abstract

The Vanadium flow battery (VFB) was taken from the initial concept stage at UNSW in 1983 through the development and demonstration of several 1-5 kW prototypes in stationary and electric vehicle applications in the 1990s with on-going research activities continuing to the present day. As part of this 38 year R&D program, a wide range of research projects was undertaken in the areas of electrodes and membranes, electrolyte process development and characterization, electrolyte additives and precipitation inhibitors, conducting plastic bipolar plate formulation and manufacturing trials, mathematical modeling of membrane transfer, shunt currents and pumping energy losses in bipolar stacks, thermal modeling of redox cells under a range of operating conditions, impedance spectroscopy and control system development, sensors and state-of-charge monitoring, chemical and electrochemical rebalancing, gelled electrolyte, vanadium bromide cell and V/O redox fuel cell. Several field trials of the VFB were conducted by UNSW in the mid-1990s with early licensing leading to large-scale demonstrations and significant commercialization activities in a wide range of applications around the world. This paper presents an historical overview of the research, development and early field trials of the all-Vanadium redox flow battery at UNSW between 1983 and 2021.

1983年至今新南威尔士大学全钒氧化还原电池发展综述

钒液流电池（VFB）是从1983年新南威尔士大学的初始概念阶段开始的，在20世纪90年代，通过在固定和电动汽车应用中开发和演示了几个1-5千瓦的原型，持续的研究活动一直持续到今天。作为这项38年研发计划的一部分，在电极和膜、电解质工艺开发和表征、电解质添加剂和沉淀抑制剂、进行塑料双极板配方和制造试验、膜转移的数学建模、，双极堆中的分流电流和泵送能量损失，一系列操作条件下氧化还原电池的热建模，阻抗谱和控制系统开发，传感器和电荷状态监测，化学和电化学再平衡，凝胶电解质，溴化钒电池和V/O氧化还原燃料电池。新南威尔士大学在20世纪90年代中期进行了几次VFB的现场试验，早期的许可证导致了大规模的演示和在世界各地广泛应用的重大商业化活动。本文介绍了1983年至2021年间新南威尔士大学全钒氧化还原液流电池的研究、开发和早期现场试验的历史概况。
