Abstract

Redox flow battery (RFB) as a promised way of large-scale energy storage has been getting more attention recently, due to the gradually growth demand for electricity. Vanadium flow battery (VFB), an RFB containing vanadium ions, has been proven to be a candidate of interest for industrial applications. They have the advantages of relatively high safety, low costs and high durability against other RFBs. However, the high costs and low energy density prohibit the application of VFBs. Promoting energy efficiency is crucial to address those concerns since higher energy efficiency will lead to a decreased consumption of raw materials and low energy dissipation. Electrodes, where the redox reactions occur, play a key role in improving energy efficiency. There have existed a bunch of approaches to modify the performance of electrodes. In this paper, recent research achievements on electrode modifications including surface modification, structural and configuration modification, introducing electrocatalyst and electrode material modification will be discussed.
