However, drawbacks such as low power density and narrow temperature window caused by poor catalytic activity of graphite felt (GF) electrodes limit its worldwide application. In this paper, bismuth, as a low-cost, no-toxic and high-activity electrocatalyst, is used to modify the thermal activated GF (TGF) via a facile hydrothermal method. Bismuth can effectively inhibit the side reaction of hydrogen evolution in wide temperature range, while promoting the V2+/V3+ redox reaction. As a result, the VFB assembled with Bi/TGF as negative electrode demonstrates outstanding rate performance under the current density up to 400 mAcm-2, as well as a long-term stability over 600 charging/discharging cycles at a high cur- rent density of 150mA cm-2. Moreover, it also shows excellent temperature adaptability from -10 ℃ to 50 ℃ and high durability for life test at the temperature of 50 ℃.展开更多

P doping improves the electrolyte wettability of GF and induces more defect sites on its surface, resulting in significantly enhanced activity and reversibility towards VO2^+/VO2^+ and V^2+/V3^+couples. VFB with PGF electrode demonstrates outstanding performance such as high-rate capability under 50–400 mA cm^-2, wide-temperature tolerance at-20 °C–60 °C, and excellent durability over 1000 charge–discharge cycles. These merits enable PGF a promising electrode for the next-generation VFB,which can operate at high-power and all-climate conditions.展开更多
