Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a highly active electrode material for an all-vanadium redox flow battery, which is prepared by heat-treating a pre-oxygen felt at a high temperature of 1000-1600° C. in an atmosphere containing CO2 through temperature programming. The prepared activated carbon felt has significantly improved specific surface area and hydrophilicity, and can significantly improve the electrocatalytic activity of the carbon fiber material for the redox reaction of vanadium ions. This electrode material is suitable for all-vanadium redox flow batteries, which can reduce the charge transfer resistance, improve the voltage efficiency and energy efficiency of all-vanadium redox flow batteries, thereby increasing its working current density, making the weight, volume and cost of batteries with the same output power are greatly reduced.
