Problems solved by technology

Among them, the operation flexibility of the air oxidation method is small, and the oxidation reaction is not easy to control; the technology introduced in "Chemical Modification of Graphite Felt Electrode and Its Electrochemical Behavior in Acidic Vanadium Solution" was published in the Chinese Journal of Nonferrous Metals in August 2005. The method is to use a strong acid oxidation method to treat the graphite felt. Using a strong acid is very dangerous and has a great potential safety hazard. This technical method is very difficult to apply to industrial production, and it will cause a violent reaction on the surface of the carbon fiber, making the surface of the fiber Corrosion will cause the consequences of reducing the service life of the material; Chinese patent literature (patent number: 200710202374.1) discloses a "method for surface modification of graphite felt and modified graphite felt", and the modification of graphite felt is in anodic oxidation Electrochemical cathode modification treatment before modification treatment
The modified graphite felt as an electrode greatly improves the electrochemical activity in the preparation of the all-vanadium redox flow battery, provides the voltage efficiency and energy efficiency of the battery discharge, and improves its stable discharge time, so that the all-vanadium redox flow battery The charge and discharge performance has been greatly improved, but it uses highly corrosive chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid

Abstract

The invention relates to a modified method of a graphite felt used for a full-vanadium fluid flow battery electrode. Firstly a graphite felt is processed by an air oxidation method, and then the graphite felt processed by the air oxidation method is modified by utilizing hydrogen peroxide or an Fenton reagent. The modified method comprises the following steps: a. air oxidation processing: placingthe washed graphite felt into a heating device for heating; oxidizing in the hot air environment; naturally cooling to room temperature in the heating device after oxidation; and washing the cooled graphite felt; b. hydrogen peroxide or Fenton reagent modified processing: placing the washed graphite felt into the hydrogen peroxide or the Fenton reagent to be modified to obtain the modified graphite felt; and c. processing residues on the surface of the graphite felt: washing the graphite felt after being processed by a hydrogen peroxide solution or the Fenton reagent by utilizing distilled water; and removing the hydrogen peroxide or the Fenton reagent residual on the surface of the graphite felt. The modified method provided by the invention has the advantages of being simple and feasible in operation and low in cost and environment-friendly.
