The graphite BPs in the corrosive vanadium electrolyte is easily eroded due to CO 2 gas evolution on the positive side of the VRFB electrode [92, 93]. The severe heterogeneous surface corrosion results in electrolyte leakage across the BP that significantly deteriorates the battery performance, which ultimately leads to battery failure.
