Studies have shown that graphite felt electrodes loaded with iridium (Ir), indium (In) and other metals have good electrochemical catalytic activity, and pyrolytic reduction of H 2 IrCl 6 The preparation of Ir-modified carbon felt electrodes reduces the V(IV)/V(V) pair charge transfer resistance, but at the same time reduces the hydrogen evolution overpotential of the electrode, so it can only be applied to the modification of vanadium battery cathode materials
Bismuth (Bi) metal has a high hydrogen evolution overpotential. By thermal decomposition, electrodepositing nano-Bi metal on the surface of graphite felt can not only inhibit hydrogen evolution, but also promote the electrochemical redox of V(II)/V(III) reaction, but the metals Bi and Ir are noble metals, which are expensive, which limits their large-scale application
mn 3 o 4 , Nb 2 o 5 Such metal oxides can reduce the activation energy of the electrode reaction, increase the electrode reaction rate, reduce the chemical reaction kinetics, and have a good catalytic effect on the electrode reaction of the vanadium battery, but problems such as their low conductivity and unstable adhesion need to be solved urgently; (2 ) use heat treatment, acid treatment and electro-oxidation method to process gr...

Abstract

The invention relates to a graphene oxide-modified electrode material for an energy storage flow battery and a preparation method of the graphene oxide-modified electrode material. The electrode material comprises a carbon material matrix and a graphene oxide compound on the surface of the carbon material matrix. According to the method, graphene oxide is loaded on the surface of a carbon electrode by a hydrothermal process; the specific surface area of the modified electrode material is greatly increased; the contact area of an electrolyte and the electrode is increased; reactivity sites of the electrode and the electrolyte are increased; meanwhile, oxygen-containing functional groups of the modified electrode are rapidly increased; the internal resistance of electrochemical reaction of an all-vanadium redox flow battery electrode and the transport resistance of electrons are reduced; and overpotential of the battery under high current density is reduced, so that the voltage efficiency and the energy efficiency of an all-vanadium redox flow battery under the high current density are greatly improved.
