The invention relates to a positive electrode of a zinc bromine redox flow battery and a preparation method thereof. The positive electrode comprises a carbon-plastic composite panel, and a catalyst layer which has high specific surface area, is adhered to one side surface of the carbon-plastic composite panel, and consists of a binder, namely chlorinated polypropylene or chlorinated polyethylene, a catalyst, namely activated carbon or carbon-supported metal, and a conductive agent, namely conductive graphite or carbon black. The catalyst layer with the high specific surface area is coated or bonded on a thermoplastic conductive plate made of polypropylene, polyethylene and the like, and high specific surface area and high conductivity are achieved simultaneously, so that the redox activity of positive bromine and the conductivity of the integral positive electrode are improved. Problems of overlarge electrode thickness, battery performance difference caused by carbon felt difference, and the like when the conventional carbon felt electrode is used are solved, and the novel positive electrode of the zinc bromine flow battery can replace the conventional carbon felt electrode.
