Abstract

The invention relates to a pre-treatment method of a composite electrode for a TEMPO/MV flow cell. The pre-treatment method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly placing carbon electrodematerial in a domestic microwave oven (the power is at 300W to 800W) to treat for 1-10min, cleaning, and then placing in an aqueous solution containing ethidene diamine to soak for 12-24h, and then placing the soaked graphite felt in a hydrothermal reaction still containing graphene oxide and ethidene diamine mixed aqueous solution, reacting for 12-24h at 180 DEG C, freezing and drying to obtainthe electrode material for TEMPO/MV flow cell. The hydrophily of the graphite felt is increased, the binding force of the three-dimensional graphene and the graphite fiber is enhanced, the electrochemical activity of the electrode material is improved, and the energy efficiency and the voltage efficiency of the TEMPO/MV flow cell are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrode material for a TEMPO / MV flow battery, in particular a pretreatment method for a three-dimensional graphene / carbon composite electrode material for a TEMPO / MV flow battery. Background technique [0002] Water-soluble organic redox couple flow batteries have become the forefront of flow battery research because of their high efficiency, high cycle performance, low cost, and flexible design of capacity and power. [0003] Since the anthraquinone flow battery was proposed by Huskinson et al. of Harvard University in 2014, the research on using water-soluble organic redox couples to replace all-vanadium flow batteries has gained widespread attention. TEMPO / MV flow battery refers to the use of cheap and stable methyl viologen (MV) as the anolyte solution, and tetrahydroxytetramethylpiperidine oxide (4-HO-TEMPO) as the catholyte solution , using mild NaCl as the supporting electrolyte. Its battery is composed of a batte...
