Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a carbon material and its application, in particular to a nano-carbon fiber material and its application in a liquid flow battery. Background technique [0002] Energy and the environment are two major issues facing mankind in the 21st century. With the continuous development of the economy, the human demand for energy is increasing. It is estimated that by 2050, human demand for energy will double and triple by the end of this century. On the one hand, traditional fossil energy reserves are limited and cannot meet the needs of social development. On the other hand, excessive consumption of fossil energy has brought serious environmental problems. In order to solve the dual problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution, the utilization and development of renewable energy is very important. However, renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy is affected by the natural environment s...
