摘 要:Vanadium redox flow battery(VRFB)is one of the most promising large-scale energy storage systems,which ranges from kilowatt to ***,poor electrochemical activity of electrode for two redox couples still restricts the extensive applications of *** with V^(2+)/V^(3+)redox reaction,V^(2+)/V^(3+)reaction plays a more significant role in voltage loss of VRFB owing to slow heterogeneous electron transfer ***,N-doped carbon materials derived from scaphium scaphigerum have been developed as negative electrocatalyst by hydrothermal carbonization and high-temperature nitridation *** undoped carbon material hardly has electrocatalytic ability for V^(2+)/V^(3+)*** on this,N-doped carbon materials with urea as nitrogen source exhibit excellent electrocatalytic *** the material nitrided at 850°C(SSC/N-850)exhibits the best performance among those from700 to 1000℃.SSC/N-850 can accelerate the electrode process including V^(2+)/V^(3+)reaction and mass transfer of active ions due to the large reaction place,more active sites,and good *** effect of catalyst on comprehensive performance of cell was ***/N-850 can improve the charge-discharge performance *** of SSC/N-850 can lessen the electrochemical polarization of cell,further resulting in increased discharge capacity and energy *** capacity and energy efficiency increase by 81.5%and 9.8%by using SSC/N-850 as negative catalyst at 150 m A cm^(-2),*** study reveals that the developed biomass-derived carbon materials are the low-cost and efficient negative electrocatalyst for VRFB system.
