Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although the above treatment method improves the electrochemical activity of the carbon electrode, the mechanical strength of the material decreases significantly.
This increases the difficulty of battery assembly. During battery charging and discharging, some fibers are easy to fall off from the electrodes and enter the electrolyte, causing the battery flow field to be blocked and battery performance to decline.
At the same time, it also affects the service life of the electrode and even the battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid flow batteries, and more specifically relates to an electrode material for an all-vanadium battery. Background technique [0002] Electrodes for all-vanadium redox flow batteries include surface active materials (hereinafter referred to as electrode materials), which are combined with current collectors. The function of current collectors is to collect electrons and transmit current. Surface active materials provide vanadium ions with different valence states for gaining and losing electrons, that is, places where electrochemical oxidation / reduction reactions occur. Therefore, the properties of surface active materials have a significant impact on the electrochemical performance of electrodes and even the entire battery. [0003] At present, the electrode materials used for vanadium batteries mainly include metal electrodes, composite conductive plastic electrodes and carbon electrodes. Metal electrodes are ...
