Problems solved by technology

Graphite felt is used as an electrode. Due to the low electrocatalytic activity of graphite felt, the electrochemical polarization of the battery is relatively large, and the voltage efficiency of the battery is low.
As an electrode, although carbon felt has obtained a higher voltage efficiency, because its oxidation resistance is not high enough, it is easily oxidized at the end of charging and affects the Coulombic efficiency and life of the battery. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, The charging cut-off voltage of all-vanadium redox flow battery is often set at 1.55V, and this will lead to low electrolyte utilization
