Carbon Felt Electrodes for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries from Japan

Porous carbon felt electrodes providing high surface area for electrolyte flow in vanadium redox flow battery stacks during charge/discharge electrolysis. Although battery-related, classified under HTS 8545.19.20.00 when imported as standalone electrolytic electrodes.

Import Tips

Specify porosity (80-90%), thickness (3-5mm), and areal weight specs; declare as flow battery components for potential renewable energy preferences; avoid cell stack assembly to maintain electrode classification
