溶液中施加10 V正电压处理原始碳毡(P-CF),成功制备了电化学活化碳毡(E-CF)。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、接触角测试、拉曼光谱(Raman)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等表征,对原始碳毡和电化学活化碳毡的表面形貌、元素组成、浸润性能等进行对比分析。结果表明:①经电化学活化处理后,E-CF的整体纤维骨架保持完整,但其表面形成了蚀刻区域,并呈现出均匀分布的微裂纹结构。②活化后的碳毡表面引入丰富含氧官能团(O/C原子比从5.14%提升至28.94%),实现超亲水表面转变(接触角从134.1°降至0°)。电化学测试表明:①E-CF的电荷转移电阻显著降低,提升钒离子反应动力学;②由E-CF组装的单电池在200 mA/cm

solution to produce electrochemically activated carbon felt (E-CF). Comparative analyses of surface morphology
elemental composition
and wettability between P-CF and E-CF were performed using scanning electron microscopy
contact angle measurements
Raman spectroscopy
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results reveal that (1) E-CF preserves its integral fiber framework while developing etched regions
and (2) abundant oxygen-containing functional groups are introduced
increasing the O/C atomic ratio from 5.14% to 28.94% and transforming the surface to superhydrophilic
as shown by the contact angle decreasing from 134.1° to 0°. Electrochemical tests demonstrate that ① E-CF exhibits a significantly reduced charge transfer resistance
enhancing vanadium ion reaction kinetics; ② single cells assembled with E-CF achieve a voltage efficiency of 73.54% and an energy efficiency of 70.56% at 200 mA/cm

current density from 200 to 80 mA/cm

capacity retention exceeds 80%. Compared with conventional treatments
this method offers advantages such as short processing time
operational simplicity
environmental friendliness
and cost-effectiveness.
