abstract = {State-of-the-art electrode materials for all-vanadium redox
flow batteries are based on carbon. Unfortunately, the
impact of the carbon structure, i.e.,
microstructure/crystallinity, surface functional groups, and
porosity/morphology/surface area, on the electrochemical
performance is still unclear. This is due to the fact that
usually several structural characteristics are varied due to
synthesis or post-treatment procedures at the same time.
Therefore, this paper shows systematically how
microstructure, porosity, and surface functional groups vary
with carbonization and graphitization temperature (ranging
from 700 to 1500 °C) for a mesoporous N-doped carbon
(MPNC). Changes in the material’s structure (e.g.,
morphology, porosity, crystal structure, surface
functionalization), determined by scanning and transmission
electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (pair distribution
function analysis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,
near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and
N2 sorption measurements, are correlated to changes in
wettability, conductivity, and electrochemical kinetics,
investigated by H$_2$O sorption measurements, cyclic
voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in
the VOV$^{2+}$ electrolyte, respectively. We found that the
kinetics of the VO$^{2+}$/VO$_2$$^{+}$ reaction increases
with an increase in sp$^{2}$-C content and therefore an
increase in crystallite size and conductivity of the
mesoporous N-doped carbon. Nevertheless, the largest current
for the VO$^{2+}$/VO$_2$$^{+}$ reaction for the same amount
of carbon during cyclic voltammetry is observed for the MPNC
carbonized at an intermediate temperature, 1000 °C, as a
result of its larger wettability and thus available surface
area compared to the MPNC carbonized at 1500 °C.},
