The invention discloses a high-activity carbon
fiber felt
electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps that firstly, carbon
fiber felt is placed in a container containing an
acetone solution after being
cut for ultrasonic
concussion, greasy
dirt on the surface of the carbon
fiber felt is removed, and the carbon fiber felt is taken out, repeatedly washed with water and dried for use; secondly, the carbon fiber felt is placed in a high-concentration
potassium hydroxide aqueous solution and soaked for 2-3 hours at
room temperature, and the carbon fiber felt is taken out and subjected to
vacuum drying; thirdly, the obtained sample is placed in a
tube furnace, protective gas is introduced, the temperature is increased to target temperature at
constant speed and preserved for 2-4 hours, and then the sample is naturally cooled to
room temperature; fourthly, the sample is subjected to acid
pickling by means of an acid solution after being taken out, then the sample is repeatedly washed with deionized water, and then the sample is dried; fifthly, the obtained sample is subjected to secondary pore broadening treatment, the second step, the third step and the fourth step are repeated, and the high-activity carbon fiber felt
electrode material is prepared. Porousness of the carbon fiber surface is achieved through the simple and feasible method, and the material can be used as a
vanadium redox battery
cathode material.
