Abstract

We report a one-pot solvothermal method to prepare a carbon dots decorated graphite felt (CDs/GF) electrode. The resulting CDs/GF shows excellent wettability and greatly enhanced activity towards vanadium redox couples. VFB with the CDs/GF electrode exhibits outstanding rate performance, superior cycling stability, and broad temperature adaptability from −20 to 60 °C.
