See all authors Porous electrodes are critical in determining the power density and energy efficiency of redox flow batteries. These electrodes serve as platforms for mesoscopic flow, microscopic ion diffusion, and interfacial electrochemical reactions.
The application of ECF electrodes to redox flow batteries started in the early 2010s with the study of the electrochemical activity of ECFs towards the vanadium redox couples.
These novel electrode structures (dual-layer, dual-diameter, and hierarchical structure) open new avenues to develop ECF electrodes that can considerably improve the battery performance and demonstrate the superiority in fabricating electrodes with desired properties for next-generation flow battery electrodes.

The uniform distribution of electrolyte flow within the porous electrode effectively decreases local concentration overpotentials and significantly improves the power density, capacity utilization, and energy efficiency of the aqueous organic redox flow battery, particularly under fast battery charging conditions.
The combination of flow batteries and other energy storage and conversion mechanisms can lead to synergistic increases in electrochemical performance and a reduction in capital costs.
