FAQs about Conductive graphite felt for flow battery
Why is graphite felt a good electrode material?
Graphite felt (GF) has become main electrode material due to its low cost, good stability, and strong corrosion resistance . However, its poor hydrophilicity and insufficient active sites result in slow redox kinetics and restrict the battery efficiency, , .
What are sigracell® carbon and graphite felts used for?
SIGRACELL® carbon and graphite felts offer ideal properties for an efficient charge exchange in high-temperature batteries like redox flow batteries.
What size battery felt do you supply?
We supply battery felts in standard sizes up to 1350 mm (53") in width in 25 m (82 ft) rolls. Beyond that, we produce carbon and graphite felts in customer- specific dimensions. The entire in-house value chain ensures the quality of SIGRACELL ® battery felts from SGL Carbon and thus contributes to optimizing battery performance.
Are gf@fe-n/s-CNF batteries efficient?
At 200 mA cm −2, energy efficiency and voltage efficiency of the battery using GF@Fe-N/S-CNFs are 9.7 % and 10.6 % higher than those of blank battery, and efficiency displays no decay during 350 charge–discharge cycles at 150 mA cm −2. This study improves poor stability on the electrode and insufficient active sites for carbon-based catalysts.
Why do we use felts for anodes & cathodes?
Our felts are used for anodes as well as cathodes. Thanks to a unique combination of electrical conductivity, electrochemical stability, high porosity and good elasticity, they facilitate an efficient charge exchange between the electrolyte and the bipolar plate.
