摘要： 采用循环伏安、低速线性扫描和阻抗技术, 以石墨为电极, 研究了V(IV)/V(V)在较高浓度下的电极过程. 结果表明, 采用2.0 mol•L-1 的V(IV)溶液时, H2SO4浓度低于2 mol•L-1, V(IV)/V(V)反应极化大, 可逆性差, 表现为电化学和扩散混合控制; H2SO4浓度增至2 mol•L-1以上, V(IV)/V(V)反应的可逆性提高, 转为扩散控制, 且增加H2SO4浓度有利于阻抗的降低; 但H2SO4浓度超过3 mol•L-1, 溶液的粘度和传质阻力大, 阻抗反而增大. 在3 mol•L-1的H2SO4中, 随着V(IV)浓度的增加, 体系的可逆性和动力学改善, 阻抗减小; 但V(IV)浓度超过2.0 mol•L-1, 较高的溶液粘度导致溶液的传质阻力迅速增加, V(IV)/ V(V)的电化学性能衰减, 阻抗增大. 因此, 综合考虑电极反应动力学和电池的能量密度两因素, V(IV)溶液的最佳浓度为1.5～2.0 mol•L-1, H2SO4浓度为3 mol•L-1.

Abstract: The electrode process of concentrated V(IV)/V(V) species has been studied at a graphite electrode using cyclic voltammetry, linear polarization, and impedance techniques. The results have revealed that in H2SO4 solution below 2 mol•L-1 containing 2.0 mol•L-1 V(IV), the electrode process of V(IV)/V(V) is controlled by the electrochemical polarization and diffusion with poor reversibility. When the concentration of H2SO4 is above 2 mol•L-1, the electrode process of V(IV)/V(V) turns into the diffusion control with improvement of the reversibility. An increase in concentration of H2SO4 solution facilitates a decrease in impedance, whereas too high concentration of H2SO4 solution(>3 mol•L-1) results in a remarkable increase in the viscosity of solution leading to a large mass transportation polarization, and thus the impedance starts to increase a bit. In 3 mol•L-1 H2SO4 solution, the reversibility and kinetics of V(IV)/V(V) are improved gradually as well as the characteristics of impedance with increasing concentration of V(IV) solution. But, when the concentration of V(IV) solution exceeds 2.0 mol•L-1, the viscosity of the solution is so high that the mass transportation polarization increases considerably, resulting in the deterioration of electrochemical performance of V(IV)/V(V) species and an increase in impedance. Therefore, considering from standpoint of increasing the energy density and electrode kinetics comprehensively, the optimal concentration of H2SO4 is 3 mol•L-1 containing 1.5~2.0 mol•L-1 of V(IV).
