Claim Text:
1. A method of fabricating electrodes of high power-density flow cell, comprising steps of: (a) pre-treatment: processing a first high-temperature treatment at a first elevated temperature to a conductive carbon material, then cooling the conductive carbon material to room temperature, then exposing the conductive carbon material to a second high-temperature treatment at a second, more elevated temperature; (b) seed settlement: distributing a plurality of seeds on a surface of said conductive carbon material; (c) etching: etching each of said seeds on said surface of said conductive carbon material into a plurality of nanoparticles; and (d) microwave molding: forming a plurality of carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes on said surface of said conductive carbon material by introducing CH wherein, in step (a), said first high-temperature treatment comprises exposing the carbon-based conductive material to a temperature of 140 Celsius degrees (° C.)±20% for at least 10 hours in a furnace with oxygen introduced.
