Provided in the present disclosure are a bipolar plate for a flow battery, and a flow battery. The flow battery comprises a first carbon felt, a second carbon felt and a bipolar plate, wherein the bipolar plate is located between the first carbon felt and the second carbon felt; grooves are provided on the surfaces of the bipolar plate that are in contact with the first carbon felt and the second carbon felt, and the grooves are filled with a binder; and fibers extending outwards from the grooves are provided in the grooves. In the technical solution provided in the present disclosure, a fiber layer is formed on a surface of an obtained flocked bipolar plate. The fiber layer, serving as a contact surface with a carbon felt, can significantly increase the friction force between the carbon felt and the bipolar plate, such that the carbon felt does not slide or shift after 5000 charge-discharge cycles in a stack. Moreover, the contact resistance between the carbon felt and the bipolar plate can also be reduced, the reduction rate of which is 30% or above, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of the stack by 3% to 5%.

A capacity recovery method for a vanadium redox flow battery, comprising: S100: calibrating comprehensive valences of vanadium ions in a battery electrolyte storage tank after the discharge capacity is attenuated, and charging a battery; S200, adding a reducing agent into a battery positive-electrode electrolyte storage tank; S300, performing self-circulation on the battery positive-electrode electrolyte storage tank to complete a chemical reduction reaction; S400, calibrating again the comprehensive valences of the vanadium ions in the battery electrolyte storage tank, and measuring the residual amount of the reducing agent; and S500, supplementing the reducing agent into the battery positive-electrode electrolyte storage tank, and repeating steps S300-S400 until the average value of the comprehensive valences of the vanadium ions in the battery electrolyte storage tank recovers to 3.5. By using a liquid reducing agent, sampling is simple, and the reaction rate of the reducing agent and a positive electrode electrolyte containing more pentavalent vanadium is high; and the valence reduction based reaction degree and the residual amount of the reducing agent are strictly monitored, thereby reducing the risk of affecting the stack performance due to the residual reducing agent.
