Abstract

Functional porous carbon (PC) derived from bio-friendly shaddock peel has been firstly explored as catalyst for vanadium redox flow battery (VRB). The prepared PC is micro-mesoporous with high BET surface area of 882.7 m² g^-1, has some surface oxygen-containing functional groups, and is doped with N and P heteroatoms. These three factors greatly favor the electrochemical reactions of VO²⁺/^_VO2+ on the PC modified glass carbon (PC-GC). Compared with the naked GC and graphite modified GC, the PC-GC presents a lower peak separation (66 mV), higher anodic current density (17.1 mA cm^-2) and cathodic current density (15.0 mA cm^-2). The VRB using PC modified graphite felt (GF) as positive electrode demonstrates an enhanced voltage efficiency of 82.7% at the current density of 60 mA cm^-2, and a better rate performance than that from the virginal GF.
