Electrode materials for vanadium redox flow batteries: Intrinsic ...
Sun et al. [12] first proposed the mechanism of redox reaction on the surface of graphite felt. The reaction mechanism of positive electrode is as follows. The first step is to transfer VO 2+ from electrolyte to electrode surface to undergo ion exchange reaction with H + on the phenolic base. The second step is to transfer oxygen atoms of C-O to VO 2+ to form VO 2 …
