Progress on electrode materials for lead acid flow battery based on electrolyte with soluble lead

A novel lead acid flow battery with no separator and a single electrolyte,lead(II) in organic acid,was described.The function and performance requirements of the electrode of lead acid flow battery were summed.The progress and recent development of the study on the electrode materials were reviewed.The results suggest that the most prospective electrode materials are the graphite felt and carbon foam and the study on the electrode modification is very important.
