Description

Carbon Felt for Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Electrodes

High-purity graphitised carbon felt for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) electrodes — the most common electrode material in grid-scale energy storage research. The carbon felt’s high electrical conductivity, chemical stability in vanadium/sulfuric acid electrolyte, and large accessible surface area make it the industry standard VRFB electrode material.

Key Specifications

  • Material: PAN-based graphitised carbon fibre
  • Thickness: 3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm (standard)
  • Bulk density: 0.06 – 0.12 g/cm³
  • Electrical resistivity: <1.5 Ω·cm (through-plane)
  • BET surface area: 0.5 – 5 m²/g
  • Chemical stability: Stable in H₂SO₄ (1–5 M), vanadium electrolyte

Applications

  • Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) positive and negative electrodes
  • Zinc-bromine flow battery electrode
  • Organic flow battery electrochemistry research
  • High-temperature thermal insulation (up to 2800°C in inert gas)
