Abstract

The invention discloses a processing method for improving activity of a graphite felt electrode of a vanadium battery. The processing method comprises the following steps of (a) placing graphite feltin absolute ethyl alcohol for ultrasonic cleaning; (b) drying; (c) immersing the cleaned and dried graphite felt in a hydrogen peroxide solution, performing constant-temperature heating to 60-100 DEGC, heating for 1-8 hours and then drying; (d) impregnating the graphite felt dried in the step (c) in the hydrogen peroxide solution, slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid according to a proportionthat hydrogen peroxide accounts for 10-30% of total volume, and processing for 1-8 hours; and (e) cleaning and drying the graphite felt after being processed in the step (d), wherein in the steps (c)and (d), the mass concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 3-30%. By heating and pre-processing of hydrogen peroxide, the oxygen-containing functional group of the graphite felt is improved; and by immersing the graphite felt in the mixed solution of the hydrogen peroxide and the concentrated sulfuric acid, the oxygen-containing functional group of the graphite felt is remarkably improved, and the activity of the graphite felt electrode is further remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of vanadium batteries, and in particular relates to a treatment method for improving the activity of graphite felt electrodes of vanadium batteries. Background technique [0002] All-vanadium redox flow battery (vanadium battery) is a secondary energy system that uses redox reactions between vanadium ions in different valence states to store and convert energy. Its characteristics are: no emission pollution, adjustable capacity, long cycle life, deep high current density discharge, fast charging, and high energy conversion rate. As an energy storage power source, vanadium batteries are mainly used in power station peak regulation, large-scale photoelectric conversion, energy storage power for wind power generation, and as energy storage systems in remote areas, uninterruptible power supplies or emergency power systems. [0003] At present, the electrode materials used in vanadium batteries are mainly carbon-based gra...
