Abstract Vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) has attracted enormous attention as a large-scale energy storage system owing to its long life, stable capacity and high safety. The electrode porosity plays crucial role in the performance of VRB. This work reports effect on electrocatalytic activity charge transfer VRB using spent tea derived porous carbon material. microstructure is systematically m...

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has been receiving great attention in recent years as one of the most viable energy storage technologies for large-scale applications. However, higher concentrations species are required H2O-H2SO4 electrolyte order to improve VRFB density. This might lead unwanted precipitation compounds, whose nature not accurately characterized yet. For this purpose, stu...

RFB (Redox Flow Battery) is a secondary battery that provides energy conversion between chemistry and electricity through an alternating redox reaction by 2 pairs of electrons protons. with active ingredient Vanadium (VRB) type widely used has problems such as the price expensive, toxic solvent (H2SO4) corrosive. Therefore, inexpensive environmentally friendly organic electrolyte component emer...

Graphite felt modified with nanodispersed bismuth was studied as electrode in the positive half-cell of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). The felt was easily modified by immersion in a Bi2O3 solution followed by thermal reduction at 450°C in air. Despite the low metal content (1 at. %), the Bi-modified felt showed an excellent electrochemical performance (at 1 mVs) in terms of anodic and ca...

Vanadium redox flow battery (V-RFB) has been attracted by many researches; some are under field testing and demonstration stage, but information on construction, experimental characterization, electrolyte preparation, overall systems under study, etc. are still limited. This paper focus on the technical issues faced and the lessons learnt during the development of unit cell and system for V-RFB...
