Embodiment 1

[0036] Put a certain size of carbon felt into the middle of the quartz tube, and then insert it into the tube furnace so that the carbon felt is located in the middle of the tube furnace. Under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature of the tube furnace was raised to 700°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min, and then ammonia gas was introduced to replace the nitrogen gas. Cool to room temperature.

[0037] The morphology of the prepared nitrogen-doped carbon felt is as follows: figure 1 shown. By comparing with the untreated carbon felt, it can be found that there are some small amorphous carbon particles on the surface of the carbon fiber of the untreated carbon felt, and several grooves are distributed; while the surface of the nitrogen-doped carbon felt is cleaner than the untreated carbon felt, and there is no amorphous carbon. Small particles exist, which is caused by the etching effect of ammonia gas, and the grooves are obviously increased, which increases...

[0046] Weigh 200mg of melamine and place it in the reactor, and place the carbon felt in the middle of the tube furnace. First raise the temperature of the tube furnace to 800°C at a rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then rapidly heat the reactor to 300°C. At this time, the sublimated melamine will flow through the carbon felt together with nitrogen, and the constant temperature reaction is 0.5 After h, it was lowered to room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0047] The cyclic voltammetry curve of the nitrogen-doped carbon felt prepared in this embodiment is as follows Figure 6 As shown, from the electrochemical oxidation and reduction peak positions and peak currents of V(Ⅱ) / V(Ⅲ) and V(Ⅳ) / V(Ⅴ) in the figure, it can be known that V(Ⅱ) / V(Ⅲ) and V(Ⅲ) The electrochemical activity and electrochemical reversibility of (Ⅳ) / V(Ⅴ) couple on nitrogen-doped carbon felt were significantly improved.

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrode for a flow energy storage battery. The electrode is prepared by carrying out surface nitrogen mixing and modification on a carbon material, the number of nitrogen atoms of the electrode surface accounts for 2-10 % of the total number of surface atoms, the existing forms of the surface nitrogen contain pyridinic nitrogen, wherein the number of the pyridinic nitrogen atoms accounts for 30-80 % of the total number of surface atoms. According to the invention, lone pair electrons of the pyridinic nitrogen increase the electron density of a graphite layer, thus the electrocatalytic activity of the carbon material is increased; in addition, the introduction of surface nitrogen-containing function groups improves the hydrophilicity of carbon electrode materials; and by doping nitrogen atoms, the conductivity of the electrode material is increased, thus the voltage efficiency and energy efficiency of the flow energy storage battery containing the electrode material are increased. Simultaneously the preparation method is simple and practicable, has no special requirements of devices, has the advantages of convenient operation, low cost, and high practical value, and is easy for batch production.
