The invention belongs to the technical field of flow batteries, and particularly relates to a high-performance
carbon felt electrode for a
zinc-
bromine flow battery and a preparation method of the high-performance
carbon felt electrode. Comprising the following steps: respectively dissolving
zinc salt and dimethylimidazole in
methanol, carrying out stirring ultrasonic treatment to respectively obtain a solution A and a solution B, mixing the solution A and the solution B, and continuously stirring to obtain a solution C; washing and
drying the original
carbon felt, dipping the original carbon felt in the solution C, continuously stirring, washing and
drying to obtain ZGF; the ZGF is carbonized in the
argon atmosphere, and Z-ONGF is obtained; a three-
electrode system is assembled by taking Z-ONGF as a
working electrode, an original carbon felt as a counter electrode and a calomel saturation electrode as a
reference electrode, electro-deposition is performed in an
electroplating solution containing InCl34H2O and KBr, and the high-performance carbon felt electrode is obtained after cleaning and
drying. According to the invention, the generation of
zinc dendrites in the zinc-
bromine flow battery can be effectively inhibited, and the electrochemical activity can be improved.
