Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Regenerative fuel cells and vanadium-air redox flow batteries require efficient positive electrodes.
  • Titanium felt is a common electrode material, but its surface treatment and catalyst deposition are critical.
  • Existing methods like dip-coating have limitations in control and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To directly compare two methods for Ti felt surface treatment and Pt/Ir electrocatalyst deposition.
  • To evaluate performance under identical experimental conditions for electrochemical measurements.
  • To determine the most effective method for enhancing electrode performance in regenerative fuel cells and vanadium-air redox flow batteries.

Main Methods:

  • Dip-coating: Bimetallic catalyst deposition via precursor salt solution followed by thermal decomposition.
  • Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): Post-anodization coating of felts with controlled ultralow noble-metal loadings.
  • Electrochemical measurements under identical conditions to compare mass activity and stability.

Main Results:

  • ALD method yielded significantly improved mass activity (557 A·g⁻¹ vs. 80 A·g⁻¹ at 0.39 V overpotential) on a noble-metal loading basis.
  • ALD demonstrated superior electrochemical stability compared to the dip-coating method.
  • ALD enables precise control over catalyst coating, even in narrow pores, with minimal noble metal usage.

Conclusions:

  • Atomic Layer Deposition is a more effective method for preparing Ti felt electrodes for regenerative fuel cells and vanadium-air redox flow batteries.
  • ALD offers enhanced performance in terms of mass activity and stability, crucial for advanced energy storage systems.
  • The study highlights the potential of ALD for reducing noble metal content while improving catalyst efficiency.
