Abstract

The all vanadium flow redox battery (VRB) has been widely studied and is one of the most compelling storage technologies. Here, A new channel structure, that is, a composited arched flow channel, is presented and compared with rectangular, serpentine channel. Numerical simulations are used to study the effects of channel structures on the concentration field, the temperature field, the pressure field and the charge-discharge curves in batteries. The results are analyzed based on the field synergy principle, which indicate that the composited arched channel has the advantages of homogeneous flow and low pumping costs and is more beneficial to battery performance.
