Electrode modification and electrocatalysis for redox flow battery (RFB) applications

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4239.2015.05.001

摘要/Abstract

Abstract: The electrode is one of the main components in redox flow batteries (RFBs), as it provides the reactions sites for redox couples and can influence the cell performance through its effect on cell voltage losses associated with activation overpotential, concentration overpotential and ohmic losses. Extensive research has thus been carried out on material selection, structural design and modification of electrodes as well as electrocatalysis for redox reactions. This review provides an historical overview of the screening and modification of electrode materials together with recent progress in novel electrode architectures, electrode modification and electrocatalysis methods. RFB systems such as iron/chromium, polysulfide/bromine and all vanadium batteries are discussed in detail.

Key words: redox flow batteries, electrode, catalysis, carbon, graphite felt
