Background technique [0002] The energy storage system with high power density is the development direction and trend of energy storage technology in the future. In order to realize the high-efficiency operation of the battery at high current density, it is necessary to further improve the key components of the battery. Taking the flow battery as an example, it is necessary to further reduce the activation polarization, ohmic polarization and concentration polarization of the battery, among which the specific surface area of ​​the electrode material needs to be greatly increased to reduce the activation polarization of the battery. At present, the electrode materials used in flow batteries are mainly graphite felt, carbon paper and carbon cloth. These commercial carbon mate...
