The present invention belongs to the field of liquid flow
energy storage battery materials, and particularly relates to a multi-dimensional conductive material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in a
vanadium redox flow battery. The present invention uses a
biomass precursor to bond
graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and through stepwise
pyrolysis, converts the carbon-based
biomass into graphitized carbon nanotubes. The
amorphous carbon in the
graphite and the original carbon nanotubes is also further graphitized, and finally a multi-dimensional conductive material with carbon nanotubes inserted into a
graphite matrix is formed. The multi-dimensional characteristics on the surface of the multi-dimensional conductive material are beneficial to forming a longitudinal conductive path on the bipolar plate, reducing the vertical
bulk resistance of the bipolar plate, and also facilitating the
wetting of
epoxy resin between conductive particles and the mechanical
interlocking of its molecular chains, improving the
mechanical strength of the bipolar plate, effectively enhancing the service performance of the bipolar plate, meeting the requirements of long-term operation of the
flow battery, relatively reducing the material cost of the
flow battery, strongly promoting the industrialization of the bipolar plate, and having good application value.
