A powerful, low-cost niobium oxide–niobium carbide–graphene oxide (NbO2/NbC/rGO) hybrid electrocatalyst is prepared by refluxing, hydrothermal method, followed by annealing process at the optimum temperature of 1050 °C for all vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) application. The NbO2/NbC/rGO electroc...
