Abstract

This invention relates to an electrode used in V oxide liquid flow battery, which takes a metal foil / net as the collector deposited with Ir, Ta, Mg, Co, Ag, Ru, Mn and Fe on the surface. The electrode has high mechanical strength, high non-corrodibility against strong acid and keeps high electrochemical activation. When it has the same thickness with that of carbon conduction plastics, or even thinner, it has even better tensile strength and bending strength, suitable for increasing the volume ratio energy of the battery. Charge, discharge experiment in 2M V electrolyte is carried out taking this invented electrode as the positive, graphite electrode as the negative, N-115 Nafion as the membranes when the current density is set, the voltage efficiency is increased by 10% to that of carbon electrodes.
