Abstract

The flexible carbon nanofiber (CNF) webs were prepared by electrospinning method and then applied in vanadium redox flow batteries as novel electrode after the carbonization process. The morphology of the prepared electrode material was investigated and the battery performance was studied while adopting this electrode. Compared with the commercial electrodes, the CNF web owned higher surface area, lighter weight and provided higher efficiencies while applied in the battery, exhibiting great potential for high performance of vanadium flow battery.
