Investigation the Effects of Tetrahydrofuran and Dimethyl Sulfoxide on the Positive Electrolyte of Vanadium Redox Battery
Abstract
In
this work, a comparative study was done to determine the effects of
tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide on the electrochemical behaviors of a
vanadium redox flow battery’s (VRFB’s) positive electrolyte. In this concept,
cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used for the
characterization of electrolytes consisting of additives, V(IV) and sulfuric
acid. Currents and capacities of peaks were determined in cyclic voltammograms.
The redox reaction were controlled by diffusion and diffusion+adsorption in
tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide including positive electrolyte solutions
of VRFB, respectively. Resistance values were investigated in electrochemical
impedimetric analysis. The morphological characterization of the pencil
graphite electrodes used in cyclic voltammetric analysis, were done by scanning
electron microscopic analysis.
