ELECTRODE COATED BY DIAMOND LIKE CARBON FOR REDOX FLOW BATTERY

摘要

PURPOSE: A DLC(Diamond Like Carbon)-coated electrode is provided to increase power per unit area of a cell of a vanadium redox flow battery and to reduce weight of a total battery. CONSTITUTION: A DLC(diamond like carbon)-coated electrode comprises metal; and a DLC-coated film coated on both sides of the metal. The metal is titanium, aluminum, or copper. One of the DLC(diamond like carbon)-coated electrode is a positive electrode(14a) and the other is a negative electrode(14b). Between the two electrode(14a,14b), an ion exchange membrane(!5) is arranged. The DLC-coated film is an amorphous solid carbon film.
