Abstract
Vanadium redox flow battery is believed to be one of important energy storage technologies, because it has many advantages, including long cycle life, high energy efficiency, low cost of maintenance, and environmental friendship. As one of the key components of vanadium redox flow battery system, an ion exchange membrane is required to prevent cross-mixing of the positive and negative electrolytes while allowing ionic continuity. However, ion exchange membrane such as Nafion using in VRBs still face some challenges in meeting performance and cost requirements for broad penetration. Therefore, to resolve these problems, developed various ion exchange membranes are investigated and compared with Nafion membranes in terms of their performance in vanadium redox flow battery.
