In situ mapping of activity distribution and oxygen evolution reaction in vanadium flow batteries

Redox flow batteries are attractive for large-scale energy storage, but electrode activity should be better understood to improve electrochemical performance. Here the authors map the surface activity distribution of a vanadium redox flow battery electrode with spatial resolution of a single fiber.
