Abstract
A method of direct electrochemical oxidation is provided to modify carbon felts of a flow battery. Redox reactions are used for modification. Therein, voltage is directly conducted to the cell stack. The carbon felts of the cell stack are uniformly contacted with electrolytes for processing electrochemical reactions. As a result, modification is done to generate oxygen-containing functional groups (—COOH, —OH) on surfaces of the carbon felts. Thus, the present invention has the following advantages: Operation and procedure are easy and quick. Experimental parameters and conditions can be easily regulated and replaced without dismantling a device used for modification. The device used can withstand a wide range of voltage and current. Modification effect can be obtained with low cost yet without high-temperature treatments.
