Abstract

A novel carbon felt electrode modified with carbon nitride (C₃N₄) was developed to improve the electrochemical performance with a VO²⁺/VO₂⁺ redox pair. The graphitic C₃N₄ on carbon felt exhibited an excellent performance in an all-vanadium redox flow battery. This work, for the first time, demonstrates the electrocatalytic properties of C₃N₄ for use in VRFBs.
