Abstract

The invention relates to the field of battery manufacturing and energy source storage, in particular to a preparation method of a nano graphite powder/carbon nanofiber composite electrode for an all-vanadium redox flow battery. Firstly, a spinning solution required by an experiment is prepared, and then nano graphite powder with different particle sizes and the spinning solution are uniformly mixed. By an electrospinning technology, a required nanofiber membrane is prepared, and then is pre-oxidized in the air and is carbonized in an inert atmosphere tubular atmosphere furnace to obtain a required nano graphite powder/carbon nanofiber composite electrode. According to the all-vanadium redox flow battery composite electrode prepared by the method provided by the invention, the carbon fiber diameter is at the nanoscale, and the carbon fiber is compounded with nano graphite powder with high electrical conductivity, so that the roughness of the fiber is substantially increased, and thus the specific surface area of the electrode is two orders of magnitude larger than that of the conventionally used electrode material. Meanwhile, the high-activity nano graphite powder enables the electrochemical activity of the electrode to be improved, so that the energy efficiency of the all-vanadium redox flow battery is greatly improved.

Background technique [0002] The all-vanadium redox flow battery is a new type of secondary battery that utilizes the chemical changes in different valence states of vanadium ions to store energy. The electrochemical polarization is reduced, and its rated power and rated power can be designed separately. Instantaneous charging can be achieved by replacing the electrolyte, and 100% deep discharge will not damage the battery.
