Abstract

The invention discloses a porous carbon nanofiber electrode used for a redox flow battery, and a preparation method of the porous carbon nanofiber electrode. The electrode is 20-500[mu]m in thickness and formed by porous carbon nanofibers with diameter of 50-500nm; the porous carbon nanofiber electrode is prepared by the steps of taking a high-molecular polymer as a precursor, preparing into nanofibers through electrostatic spinning, and then performing high temperature carbonization and next, carrying out high-temperature activation through CO<2> or vapor. The prepared porous carbon nanofiber electrode, with obviously enlarged specific surface area and improved oxygen-containing functional group, has high electrocatalytic activity and electrochemical reversibility when the porous carbon nanofiber electrode is used for the redox flow battery; the redox flow battery has the advantages of simple preparation method, easily available raw material, low cost and the like; the electrode material is applicable to the redox flow battery; due to the ultra-thin electrode thickness, space between electrodes of the battery can be reduced, and internal resistance of the battery can be lowered; and in addition, charge transfer resistance can be lowered, the voltage efficiency and energy efficiency of the all-vanadium redox flow battery are improved, and the weight and the volume of the battery are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid flow energy storage batteries in chemical energy storage technology, in particular to electrodes of all-vanadium redox flow batteries. Background technique [0002] Energy and the environment are two major issues facing mankind in the 21st century. With the continuous development of the economy, the human demand for energy is increasing. It is estimated that by 2050, human demand for energy will double and triple by the end of this century. On the one hand, traditional fossil energy reserves are limited and cannot meet the needs of social development. On the other hand, excessive consumption of fossil energy has brought serious environmental problems. In order to solve the dual problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution, the utilization and development of renewable energy is very important. However, renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy is affected by the natural environment s...
