Embodiment 1

[0030] Heat a graphite felt electrode with a certain area in a 500W microwave oven for 1min, wash it with deionized water, and dry it in an oven at 80°C for 12h. Add 10ml of ethylenediamine to 50ml of deionized water, and completely immerse the dried graphite felt electrode in the aqueous solution of ethylenediamine. After 12 hours, put it into a hydrothermal reaction kettle containing 2mg / L graphene oxide and 10mL ethylenediamine solution, react at 180°C for 12 hours, and then cool to room temperature. Take out the graphite felt with three-dimensional graphene, put it into a freeze dryer and freeze-dry it for 24 hours to obtain the target electrode material. In order to test the electrochemical performance of the electrode, the electrode was assembled into a TEMPO / MV flow battery for charge and discharge tests. At a current density of 100mA / cm2, the voltage efficiency of the battery was 92%, and the energy efficiency was 95%.

Abstract

The invention relates to a pretreatment method for a composite electrode of a TEMPO / MV flow battery, which specifically comprises: first treating a carbon electrode material in a household microwave oven (power 300W-800W) for 1-10min, and putting it into a Soak in the aqueous solution of ethylenediamine for 12-24h, then put the soaked graphite felt into the hydrothermal reaction kettle containing the mixed aqueous solution of graphene oxide and ethylenediamine, react at 180°C for 12-24h, after freeze-drying , to obtain the electrode material for TEMPO / MV flow battery. The invention increases the hydrophilicity of the graphite felt, strengthens the binding force between the three-dimensional graphene and the graphite fiber, improves the electrochemical activity of the electrode material, and improves the energy efficiency and voltage efficiency of the TEMPO / MV flow battery.

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...
