A method is provided to optimize the surface of a carbon electrode for flow battery. A reaction solution is prepared as containing a requested ratio of functional group. After spraying the reaction solution on the carbon electrode, a number of related parameters of an atmospheric plasma are set for activation the carbon electrode. Thus, the functional group is covalently bonded on the surface of the carbon electrode according to requirement. Thereby, an accurate control of the type and number of the functional group bonded on the surface of the carbon electrode is achieved with the stability and performance of flow battery further enhanced.

A polar plate is fabricated. The polar plate is flexible and made of a plastic graphite composite. No matter a supporting member is used for calendering or not, a thin polar plate with controllable thickness is fabricated. The polar plate is excellent in blocking the through-transmission of vanadium ions and the limit of blending ratio of conductive carbon is broken through. The longitudinal through-transmission volume resistivity (proportional resistance to thickness) is greatly improved by adjusting the blending ratio of conductive carbon for meeting the demand of conductivity. In the mean time, the present invention strengthens the rigidity required for the thin polar plate while providing large-area polar plate fabrication for industrial use and convenience and provides a cooling and pressing method for patterning a composite polar plate. An integrated mold is thus obtained to replace the conventional polar plate which needs to be processed and prepared with runner.
