[0033] (1) 50.4mg cerous nitrate (Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2O) Dissolve in 25mL of deionized water, and fully ultrasonically disperse at 25°C for 3min to make a homogeneous solution.

[0034] (2) Let the homogeneous solution prepared in step (1) stand for 5 minutes to remove air bubbles and impurities.

[0035] (3) Cut the pretreated polyacrylonitrile-based graphite felt into the required size, put it in the solution prepared in step (2) and disperse it ultrasonically for 5 minutes, slowly add 2.3mL of ammonia water dropwise under the condition of magnetic stirring, adjust pH=8, and let stand for 30min.

[0036] (4) Place the graphite felt prepared in step (3) in a blast drying oven at 70°C for 12 hours, cool to room temperature and then place it in a nitrogen atmosphere for calcination at 600°C for 2 hours. The prepared sample is recorded as 0.5% CeO 2 / GF. Of which 0.5% CeO 2 The meaning of / GF is as follows: the mass percentage of ceria-modified graphite felt is 0.5%. In the ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flow battery, in particular to a carbon electrode modified by cerium-zirconium oxide, a preparation method of the electrode and a flow battery using the electrode. Background technique [0002] With the large-scale development and utilization of non-renewable energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas, and the increasingly serious environmental pollution, this puts forward new requirements for the optimization of energy structure and sustainable development. It is particularly important to develop an energy storage system with excellent performance to match renewable energy and ensure its stability and continuity. Flow battery (Flow battery), especially vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB or vanadium battery for short), has the advantages of easy scale, long cycle life, environmental friendliness, freedom of site selection, modular design and fast response. It has become one of the fastest-growing and most promising energy stor...
