Problems solved by technology

At the same time, in the battery assembly process, in order to ensure the airtightness of the entire device, it is often necessary to apply a large pressure on both sides of the battery stack; however, due to the high brittleness of the graphite material itself, if the graphite plate is not uniformly stressed, it is easy to cause graphite cracked plate
Moreover, the composite structure between the conductive bipolar plate and the conductive porous material matrix will also produce a large contact resistance, and the problem of the conductive porous material matrix falling off is also very easy to occur during use.
In addition, the cost of high-density graphite plates as conductive bipolar plates is relatively high, which is not conducive to reducing the cost of electrodes
In summary, the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing composite electrodes composed of conductive porous material matrix and conductive bipolar plates seriously limit the popularization of vanadium redox flow batteries, and it is imperative to develop new battery electrodes
