The vanadium flow battery (VFB) has been considered as one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies in terms of its design flexibility,long cycle life,high efficiency and high safety.However,the high cost prevents the VFB technology from broader market penetration.Improving the power density of the VFB is an effective solution to reduce its cost due to the reduced material consumption and stack size.Electrode,as one of the main components in the VFB,providing the reactions sites for redox couples,has an important effect on the voltage loss of the VFB associated with electrochemical polarization,ohmic polarization and concentration polarization.Extensive research has been carried out on the electrode modification to reduce polarizations and hence improve the power density of the VFB.In this review,state-of-the-art of various modification methods on the VFB electrode materials is overviewed and summarized,and the future research directions helpful to reduce polarization loss are presented.

Two-dimensional (2D) layered vanadium disulfide (VS2) is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to the high theoretical capacity.However,it remains a challenge to synthesize monodispersed ultrathin VS2 nanosheets to realize the fu
Methane dehydroaromatization was studied over Mo/SiO2 and Mo/HZSM-5 with different Mo loadings (2,5,10 wt%) at 973 K and 1023 K in a recirculating batch reactor.H2 pretreatment at 1023 K prior to methane activation has significantly improved the catalyst
Although great accomplishments of functional material synthesis have been achieved in sodium ion batteries (SIBs) recently,there are still numerous challenges and problems in preparing carbon-based materials with porous architectures and enough lattice di
The co-precipitation derived LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathode material was modified by a coating layer of TiP2O7 through an ethanol-based process. The TiP2O7 -coated LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 is characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron micr
The lattice doping has been widely used to improve the electrochemical performances of Li-rich cath-ode materials but the roles of the introduced foreign atoms are still not very clear. Herein, a series of Li 2 Ru 1- x Ti x O3 solid solutions have been sy
Crystal planes of a catalyst play crucial role in determining the electrocatalytic performance for CO2 re-duction. The catalyst SnO2 can convert CO2 molecules into valuable formic acid (HCOOH). Incorporating heteroatom N into SnO2 further improves its cat
A symmetric all-organic non-aqueous redox flow-type battery was investigated employing the neutral small molecule radical 3-phenyl-1,5-di-p-tolylverdazyl,which can be reversibly oxidized and reduced in one-electron processes,as the sole charge storage mat
A strong interface coupling is of vital importance to develop metal oxide/carbon nanocomposite anodes for next-generation lithium ion batteries.Herein,a rational N-doped carbon riveting strategy is designed to boost the lithium storage performance of Fe3O
Stability of borohydrides is determined by the localization of the negative charge on the boron atom. Ionic liquids (ILs) allow to modify the stability of the borohydrides and promote new dehydrogenation pathways with a lower activation energy. The combin
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the 100 most important chemicals involved in multiple chemical processes including paper and textile manufacturing, waste degradation, and pharmaceutical production [1].Compared with the current industrial process to pro
