Benefits of technology

This patented method involves treating carboxylated fluorocarbon fibers (CF) by immersed them into strong alkali solutions before they are treated for chemical modification. By doing this, it can enhance their resistance against corrosion caused by certain substances like acids from various sources. Additionally, due to its high water-repelling property, CF's surfaces become more accessible when exposed to aqueous environments compared to nonionic liquids used during previous processes. Overall, these technical improvements make CFCFs stronger and longer lasting than existing techniques while also being able to absorb electroneutrients effectively through ion exchange reactions between different types of charged particles attached at the fiber ends.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed by the inventors relates to developing new types of material called vanadyl peroxide or VBO, specifically an improved type of electric cell elec trode made from these compounds due to better chemical properties compared to previous designs. These improvements include increased contact between metal plates without causing damage during charging/discharges, reduced environmental impact caused by emissions associated with fossil fuel combustion processes, longer lifetimes overcoming issues like degraded catalyst action, less frequent replacement cycles, no generation of wastes, etc., and being able to achieve higher levels of power conversion than other alternatives currently available.

Embodiment 1

[0038] Dip the polyacrylonitrile-based carbon felt after carbonization treatment at 1100~1300°C in 3mol / L NaOH solution at 50°C for 30 minutes to remove the hydrophobic oils and fats attached to the carbon felt, then take it out and put in an appropriate amount of pure Rinse in water, take it out and dry it in an oven at a constant temperature of 40°C. Put the dried and dehydrated carbon felt into 98% sulfuric acid at 60°C for oxidative activation for 4.0 hours to increase the oxygen-containing groups on the molecular structure of the carbon felt, improve its hydrophilicity and the ability to adsorb electrochemically active ions, and then Remove from sulfuric acid and wash with pure water. The cleaned carbon felt can be directly loaded into the vanadium battery stack, or placed in an oven at a constant temperature of 40°C to dry and packaged for storage.

Embodiment 2

[0040] Dip the polyacrylonitrile-based carbon felt after carbonization treatment at 1100~1300°C in 1mol / L NaOH solution at 100°C for 10 minutes to remove the hydrophobic oils and fats attached to the carbon felt, then take it out and put it in an appropriate amount of pure Rinse in water, take it out and dry it in an oven at a constant temperature of 60°C. Put the carbon felt that has been dried to remove moisture into 70% sulfuric acid at 100°C for oxidative activation for 0.5 hours to increase the oxygen-containing groups on the molecular structure of the carbon felt, improve its hydrophilicity and the ability to absorb electrochemically active ions, and then Remove from sulfuric acid and wash with pure water. The cleaned carbon felt can be directly loaded into the vanadium battery stack, or placed in an oven at a constant temperature of 60°C to dry and packaged for storage.

Embodiment 3

[0042] Soak the polyacrylonitrile-based carbon felt after carbonization treatment at 1100~1300°C in 2mol / L NaOH solution at 80°C for 20 minutes to remove the hydrophobic oils and fats attached to the carbon felt, then take it out and put in an appropriate amount of pure Rinse in water, take it out and dry it in an oven at a constant temperature of 50°C. Put the dried and dehydrated carbon felt in 90% sulfuric acid at 80°C for oxidative activation for 2.5 hours to increase the oxygen-containing groups on the molecular structure of the carbon felt, improve its hydrophilicity and the ability to absorb electrochemically active ions, and then Remove from sulfuric acid and wash with pure water. The cleaned carbon felt can be directly loaded into the vanadium battery stack, or placed in an oven at a constant temperature of 50°C to dry and packaged for storage.

Abstract

The invention discloses a treatment method of carbon felt for vanadium batteries, which comprises the following steps: oxidizing and activating carbon felt in 60-100 DEG C sulfuric acid for 0.5-4 hours or oxidizing and activating carbon felt in 20-30 DEG C sulfuric acid for 12-48 hours, and washing with water to obtain the activated carbon felt. Compared with other sulfuric acid or nitric acid oxidization methods, the invention firstly uses an alkaline solution to soak and wash the hydrophobic oil adhesive substances influencing the oxidizing process on the carbon felt surface, and then carries out the sulfuric acid oxidizing treatment, thereby increasing the oxo groups and other hydrophilic groups on the carbon felt molecules and enhancing the hydrophilicity and electrochemically active ion adsorption capacity of the carbon felt. The invention has the advantages of short treatment time and favorable carbon felt activation effect, and enhances the electrochemical activity of the carbon felt and the generation current value of the carbon felt as the vanadium battery electrode.
