[0013] (2) Metallize electrode materials such as graphite felt, carbon paper, etc., that is, modify metal ions on the surface of carbon fibers, such as Sun et al. (Sun, B.T.; Skyllas-Kazacos, M. Chemical Modification and Electrochemical Behavior of Graphite Fiber in Acidic VanadiumSolution.Electrochim.Acta1991,36,513-517.) modified Mn on the carbon fiber surface 2+ 、 Te 4+ 、In 3+ and Ir 3+ etc., found Ir 3+ It is most effective in improving the electrocatalytic activity of electrode materials, but due to the high cost of electrodes due to the use of noble metals, it is not suitable for large-scale applications
However, even if no overcharge occurs, the hydrogen evolution reaction will be accompanied by V 2+ / V 3+ The reactions are carried out simultaneously, so this method does not reduce hydrogen evolution
