Abstract

In this work we explore an in-house made carbon metal fabric (CMF) electrodes for enhanced performances in regenerative hydrogen/vanadium fuel (or flow) cells. CMF is manufactured via a sophisticated electrospinning method followed by carbonization that leads to the development of carbon nanotubes and trichome-like structures with iron nanoparticles that improve the vanadium electrolyte utilization in the RHVFC significantly. The long-term storage costs of the RHVFC are reduced when CMF is used as electrodes, and this leads to a successful systems integration for water desalination and/or solar energy storage plants.
