Abstract

Two commercial carbon plates were evaluated as a current collector (bipolar plate) in the all vanadium redox-flow battery (V-RFB). The performance properties of V-RFB were test in the current density of $60mA/cm^2$. The electromotive forces (OCV at SOC 100%) of V-RFB using A and B current collector were 1.47 V and 1.54 V. The cell resistance of V-RFB using A current collector was $4.44{\sim}5.00{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and $3.28{\sim}3.75{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ for charge and discharge, respectively. The cell resistance of V-RFB using B current collector was $4.19{\sim}4.42{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and $4.71{\sim}5.49{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ for charge and discharge, respectively. The performance of V-RFB using each current collector was evaluated. The performance of V-RFB using A current collector was 93.1%, 76.8% and 71.4% for average current efficiency, average voltage efficiency and average energy efficiency, respectively. The performance of V-RFB using B current collector was 96.4%, 73.6% and 71.0% for average current efficiency, average voltage efficiency and average energy efficiency, respectively.

두 종류의 집전체(BP, bipolar plate)를 사용하여 바나듐 레독스-흐름 전지(V-RFB, vanadium redox-flow battery)의 성능을 평가하였다. V-RFB의 성능평가는 $60mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도에서 진행하였다. A 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB의 기전력(SOC 100%에서의 OVC)은 1.47V, B 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB의 기전력은 1.54V를 나타냈다. A 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB의 셀 저항은 충전시에 $4.44{\sim}5.00{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$을, 방전시에 $3.28{\sim}3.75{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$를 보였으며, B 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB의 셀 저항은 충전시에 $4.19{\sim}4.42{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, 방전시에 $4.71{\sim}5.49{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$를 나타냈다. 각 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB의 성능은 5회 충방전 실험을 진행하여 평가하였다. A 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB는 평균 전류효율 93.1%, 평균 전압효율 76.8%, 평균 에너지효율 71.4%를 나타냈으며, B 집전체를 사용한 V-RFB는 평균 전류효율 96.4%, 평균 전압효율 73.6%, 평균 에너지효율 71.0%를 나타냈다.
