Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of a redox flow battery, in particular to a method for efficiently preparing an integrated electrode of a flow battery. Background technique [0002] Liquid flow battery is a kind of energy storage battery that realizes the mutual conversion of chemical energy and electric energy through the redox reaction of positive and negative reactive materials. It is mainly used in renewable energy (such as wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, etc.) power generation, "Peak shaving and valley filling" of the power system, backup power stations for important facilities, etc. The flow battery stack is mainly composed of diaphragm, electrodes, bipolar plates, end plates and other parts. Among them, the electrode is the place where the electrochemical reaction occurs, and it needs to have a certain catalytic activity. Most of them use graphite felt or carbon felt with good electrochemical activity and reversibility as ...
