Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have received significant attention for use in large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) because of their long cycle life, flexible capacity, power design, and safety. However, the poor electrochemical activity of the conventionally used carbon felt electrode results in low energy efficiency of the VRFBs and consequently impedes their commercialization. In this study, a carbon felt (CF) electrode with numerous nanopores and robust oxygen-containing functional groups at its edge sites is designed to improve the electrochemical activity of a carbon felt electrode. To achieve this, Ni metal nanoparticles were initially precipitated on the surface of the CF electrode, followed by etching of the precipitated Ni nanoparticles on the CF electrode using sulfuric acid. The resulting CF electrode had a specific surface area eight times larger than that of the pristine CF electrode. In addition, the oxygen-containing functional groups anchored at the graphite edge sites of the nanopores can act as robust electrocatalysts for VO<sup>2+</sup>/VO<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> and V<sup>2+</sup>/V<sup>3+</sup> redox reactions. Consequently, the VRFB cell with the resulting carbon felt electrode can deliver a high energy efficiency of 86.2% at the current density of 60 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>, which is 20% higher than that of the VRFB cell with the conventionally heat-treated CF electrode. Furthermore, the VRFB cell with the resultant carbon felt electrodes showed stable cycling performance with no considerable energy efficiency loss over 200 charge-discharge cycles. In addition, even at a high current density of 160 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> , the developed carbon felt electrode can achieve an energy efficiency of 70.1%.
