本文采用壳聚糖-磷钨酸层对Nafion膜表面分别进行单面和双面修饰改性,研究了修饰模式对Nafion膜钒离子渗透率、电导率及离子选择性的影响.结果表明,单面、双面修饰改性均会使Nafion膜的钒离子渗透率显著降低,最高降幅分别达到89.9%(单面修饰)和92.7%(双面修饰);单面、双面修饰改性均会使Nafion膜的电导率下降,但存在明显差异,在相同修饰厚度条件下,双面修饰改性对Nafion膜电导率的影响比单面修饰改性更小.因此,双面修饰复合膜展示出了比单面修饰复合膜更高的离子选择性,并且在修饰层厚度为17μm时达到最大值(1.12×105S·min·cm~(-3)).基于优化的双面修饰Nafion膜的全钒液流电池,在充放电流密度30 mA·cm-2时,库仑效率和能量效率分别达到93.5%和80.7%,并在测试时间内展示出良好的循环稳定性.

基于磷钨酸功能化纳米纤维的超高质子/钒选择性的聚苯并咪唑膜在全钒液流电池中的应用

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) is a key component of vanadium redox flow battery (VRB), and its proton/vanadium selectivity plays an important role in the performance of a VRB single cell. Commercially available perfluorosulfonic acid (Nafion) membranes have been widely used due to their excellent proton conductivity and favorable chemical resistance. However, the large pore size micelle channels formed by the pendant sulfonic acid groups lead to the excessive penetration of vanadium ions, which seriously affects the coulombic efficiency (CE) of the single cell and accelerates the self-discharge rate of the battery. Additionally, the expensive cost of Nafion is also an important reason to limit its large-scale application. In this paper, the dense and low-cost hydrocarbon polymer polybenzimidazole (PBI) is used as the matrix material of the PEM, which is doped with phosphotungstic acid (PWA) to acquire excellent proton conductivity, and the intrinsic high resistance of PBI for vanadium ions is helpful to obtain high proton/vanadium selectivity. Considering the enormous water solubility of PWA and its easy leaching from membrane, organic polymer nano-Kevlar fibers (NKFs) are utilized as the anchoring agent of PWA, which achieves good anchoring effect and solves the problem of the poor compatibility between inorganic anchoring agent and the polymer matrix. The formation of PWA functionalized NKFs was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The anchoring stability of NKFs for PWA was evaluated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The characterizations including water uptake, swelling ratio, ion exchange capacity, proton conductivity, vanadium ion permeability and ion selectivity were performed to evaluate the basic properties of the membranes. At the same time, the charge-discharge, self-discharge and cycle performance of single cell assembled with the composite membrane and recast Nafion were tested at various current densities from 40 to 100 mA∙cm^-2. Simple tuning for the filling amount of NKFs@PWA gives the composite membrane superior ion selectivity including an optimal value of 3.26 × 10⁵ S∙min∙cm^-3, which is 8.5 times higher than that of recast Nafion (0.34 × 10⁵ S∙min∙cm^-3). As a result, the VRB single cell assembled with the composite membrane exhibits higher CE and significantly lower self-discharge rate compared with recast Nafion. Typically, the CE of the VRB based on PBI-(NKFs@PWA)-22.5% membrane is 97.31% at 100 mA∙cm^-2 while the value of recast Nafion is only 90.28%. The open circuit voltage (V_OC) holding time above 0.8 V of the single cell assembled with the composite membrane is 95 h, which is about 2.4 times as long as that of recast Nafion-based VRB. The utilization of PBI as a separator for VRB can effectively suppress the penetration of vanadium ions, achieve higher proton/vanadium selectivity and superior battery performance as well as reduce the cost of the PEM, which will play an active role in the promotion of VRB applications.     

Nafion聚离子修饰钠米Pt的合成及其影响因素

采用化学还原的方法成功地合成了Nafion聚离子修饰的纳米Pt颗粒,平均粒径为～4 nm;由于表面缺电子的特性,纳米Pt粒子与Nafion高分子长链上的-SO-3基团有较强的结合,使粒子随-SO-3的存在状态而分散,在水溶液中呈现与离子团簇相似的分散状态.FTIR显示Pt颗粒存在表面原子暴露在修饰离子之外,因此,这种粒子在具有功能结构的催化领域有着很好的应用前景;合成过程中反应速率随Nafion含量的降低、pH的增加而增大.

Preparation and characterization of Nafion/SPEEK layered composite membrane and its application in vanadium redox flow battery

In order to reduce the cost of membrane used in vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) system while keeping its chemical stability, Nafion/sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) layered composite membrane (N/S membrane) consisting of a thin layer of recast Nafion membrane and a layer of SPEEK membrane were prepared by chemical crosslink the sulfonic acid groups of different ionomer membranes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and IR spectra analysis of the membrane showed that Nafion layer was successfully deposited on the SPEEK membrane surface and an integral layered membrane structure was formed. The area resistance and permeability of vanadium ions of membrane were also measured. It was found that N/S membrane have a very low permeability of vanadium ions accompanied by a little higher area resistance compared with Nafion membrane. As a result, the VRB single cell with N/S membrane exhibited higher coulombic efficiency and lower voltage efficiency compared with VRB single cell with Nafion membrane. Although N/S membrane delivered relatively lower energy efficiency compared with Nafion membrane, its good chemical stability and low cost make it a suitable substitute for Nafion membrane used in VRB system.

Novel sulfonated polyimide/ZrO2 composite membrane as a separator of vanadium redox flow battery

Sulfonated polyimide (SPI) and ZrO₂ are blended to prepare a series of novel SPI/ZrO₂ composite membranes for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) application. Results of atomic force microscopy and X‐ray diffraction reveal that ZrO₂ is successfully composited with SPI. All SPI/ZrO₂ membranes possess high proton conductivity (2.96–3.72 × 10^?2 S cm^?1) and low VO²⁺ permeability (2.18–4.04 × 10^?7 cm² min^?1). SPI/ZrO₂‐15% membrane is determined as the optimum one on account of its higher proton selectivity and improved chemical stability. The VRFB with SPI/ZrO₂‐15% membrane presents higher coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency than that with Nafion 117 membrane at the current density, which ranged from 20 to 80 mA cm^?2. Cycling tests indicate that the SPI/ZrO₂‐15% membrane has good operation stability in the VRFB system. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Facile synthesis of amphoteric ion exchange membrane by radiation grafting of sodium styrene sulfonate and N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate for vanadium redox flow battery

Sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) and N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) are grafted into poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) film using γ‐radiation techniques. SSS could be co‐grafted successfully with DMAEMA, although it is difficult to be grafted solely into PVDF films. Through subsequent protonation process, an amphoteric ion exchange membrane (AIEM) is synthesized facilely and environmentally benignly. The degree of grafting (DOG) increases with absorbed dose and levels off at 40 kGy. Micro‐FTIR and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses confirm the existence of the designed units and quaternization of DMAEMA units in the grafted films. The quaternization and grafting occurring at the same time makes it a unique way to synthesize quaternized AIEM in one step. Finally, an AIEM with a DOG of 43% is assembled in the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) system, and the VRFB maintains an open circuit voltage higher than 1.4 V after placed for 85 h, which is much longer than that with Nafion117 membrane. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A symmetric aqueous redox flow battery based on viologen derivative

Due to the diversity and feasibility of structural modification for organic molecules,organic-based redox flow batteries(ORFBs) have been widely investigated,especially in aqueous solution under neutral circumstance.In this work,a symmetric aqueous redox flow battery(SARFB) was rationally designed by employing a bipolar redox active molecule(N,N'-dimethyl-4,4-bipyridinium diiodide,MVI_2) as both cathode and anode materials and combining with an anion exchange membrane.For one MVI_2 flow battery,MV~(2+)/MV~(·+) and I~-/I_3~-serve as the redox couples of anode and cathode,respectively.The MVI_2 battery with a working voltage of 1.02 V exhibited a high voltage efficiency of 90.30% and energy efficiency of 89.44% after 450 cycles,and crossover problem was prohibited.The comparable conductivity of MVI_2 water solution enabled to construct a battery even without using supporting electrolyte.Besides,the bipolar character of MVI_2 battery with/without supporting electrolyte was investigated in the voltage range between-1.2 V and 1.2 V,showing excellent stable cycling stability during the polarity-reversal test.     

Preparation and characterization of quaternized poly (2,2,2‐trifluoroethyl methacrylate‐co‐N‐vinylimidazole) membrane for vanadium redox flow battery

Aiming to develop a suitable ion exchange membrane for vanadium redox flow battery (VRB), a new kind of imidazolium salt type anion exchange membrane based on the copolymer of N‐vinylimidazole and 2,2,2‐trifluoroethyl methacrylate has been prepared. The membrane is characterized by means of water uptake, ion‐exchange capacity, ionic conductivity, and thermal stability. Furthermore, a VRB with this membrane is assembled, and the performance of such VRB is evaluated. The permeability experiments show that this membrane has reasonable low permeability of vanadium ions. The coulombic efficiency (CE) and energy efficiency (EE) of VRB with the synthesized membrane are 99.5% and 75.0%, whereas the CE and EE of the VRB with Nafion® 117 membrane are 82.6% and 72.6%, respectively. The synthesized membrane shows good chemical stability in VRB via more than 4000 cycles test. Therefore, this membrane shows good applicable potential in VRB.

A phosphotungstic acid coupled silica-Nafion composite membrane with significantly enhanced ion selectivity for vanadium redox flow battery

An ultra-high ion-selective Nafion composite membrane modified by phosphotungstic acid(PWA)coupled silica for vanadium redox flow battery(VRB)was constructed and prepared through solution casting.The composite membrane exhibits excellent proton conductivity and vanadium ions blocking property by incorporating the nanohybrid composed of silica and PWA into the Nafion ionomer.Simple tuning for the filling amount of the nanohybrid endows the obtained membranes preeminent vanadium barrier property including a minimum vanadium permeability of 3.13×10~(-7)cm~2min~(-1)and a maximum proton conductivity of 0.081 S cm~(-1)at 25°C.These indicate an ion selectivity of 2.59×10~5S min cm~(-3),which is 6.8times higher than that of recast Nafion(0.33×10~5S min cm~(-3)).As a result,the VRB with the composite membrane shows superior battery performance containing a lower self-discharge rate,higher capacity retention and more robust cyclic stability compared with recast Nafion over a range of current densities from 40 to 100 m A cm~(-2).     

Study on stabilities and electrochemical behavior of V(V) electrolyte with acid additives for vanadium redox flow battery

Several acid compounds have been employed as additives of the V(V) electrolyte for vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) to improve its stability and electrochemical activity. Stability of the V(V) electrolyte with and without additives was investigated with ex-situ heating/cooling treatment at a wide temperature range of −5 °C to 60 °C. It was observed that methanesulfonic acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, polyacrylic acid, oxalic acid, methacrylic acid and phosphotungstic acid could improve the stability of the V(V) electrolyte at a certain range of temperature. Their electrochemical behaviors in the V(V) electrolyte were further studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), steady state polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the electrochemical activity, including the reversibility of electrode reaction, the diffusivity of V(V) species, the polarization resistance and the flexibility of charge transfer for the V(V) electrolyte with these additives were all improved compared with the pristine solution.     

Electrochemical properties and structures of surface-fluorinated graphite for the lithium ion secondary battery

Surface modification of graphite powder has been performed by elemental fluorine and radiofrequency (rf) plasma fluorination. Both methods give rise to an enlargement of the surface areas of graphite samples and a change of the pore volume distribution. The capacities of surface-fluorinated graphite samples are higher than those of original samples and even more than the theoretical capacity of graphite, 372 mAh g⁻¹, without any reduction of the first colombic efficiencies. The increments of the capacities are ∼5, 10, and 15% for graphite samples with average particle diameters of 7, 25 and 40 μm, respectively.     

Effect of surface fluorination on the electrochemical behavior of petroleum cokes for lithium ion battery

Surface structure change and electrochemical behavior of fluorinated petroleum coke samples (petroleum cokes: petroleum coke and those heat-treated at 1860 °C, 2300 °C and 2800 °C, abbreviated to PC, PC1860, PC2300 and PC2800, respectively) have been investigated. Surface oxygen of petroleum coke was decreased by the fluorination using elemental fluorine. Raman and EPR spectroscopies revealed that surface fluorination increased surface disorder and lattice defects. ¹⁹F NMR spectrum suggests that distribution of fluorine atoms in PC fluorinated 300 °C was similar to that in graphite fluoride with covalent CF bonds. Surface areas of fluorinated petroleum cokes were nearly the same as those of non-fluorinated ones or only slightly increased by fluorination, except PC fluorinated at 300 °C. It is noted that first coulombic efficiencies of PC2300 and PC2800 were highly increased to 80-84% by the fluorination at 300 °C. These values of 80-84% were 12-18% higher than those of non-fluorinated PC2300 and PC2800.
