Nano oxides incorporated sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) membranes with improved selectivity and stability for vanadium redox flow battery

Three kinds of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK)/nano oxide (Al₂O₃, SiO₂, and TiO₂) composite membranes are fabricated for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) application. The composite membranes with 5 wt% of Al₂O₃, SiO₂, and TiO₂ (S/A-5 %, S/S-5 %, and S/T-5 %) exhibit excellent cell performance in VRFB. Incorporation of nano oxides (Al₂O₃, SiO₂, and TiO₂) in SPEEK membrane improves in aspect of thermal, mechanical, and chemical stabilities due to the hydrogen bonds’ interaction between SPEEK matrix and nano oxides. The energy efficiencies (EEs) of composite membranes are higher than that of Nafion 117 membrane, owing to the good balance between proton conductivity and vanadium ion permeability. The discharge–capacity retentions of composite membranes also overwhelm that of Nafion 117 membrane after 200 cycles, indicating their good stability in VRFB system. These low-cost SPEEK/nano oxide composite membranes exhibit great potential for the application in VRFB.

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.     

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.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Sulfonated Polyimides from 4,6-Bis（4-aminophenoxy）-naphthalene-2-sulfonic Acid

A novel sulfonated diamine monomer, 4,6-bis（4-arninophenoxy）-naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid（BAPNS）, was synthesized. A series of sulfonated polyimide copolymers was prepared from BAPNS, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride（NTDA） and nonsulfonated diamine 4,4＇-diaminodiphenyl ether（ODA）. Flexible, transparent, and mechanically strong membranes were obtained. The novel sulfonated polyimide（SPI） membranes show higher conductivity, for example, SPI-100 shows a conductivity of 0.0698 S/cm at 80℃（SPI-X： Xrefers to molar fraction of BAPNS）. The membranes exhibit the permeability of methanol from 2.18×10^-7 cm2/s to 2.57×10^-7 cm2/s, which is much lower than that of Nafion（2.00×10 6 cm^2/s）. The copolymers were thermally stable up to 330℃. The sulfonated polyimide copolymers also show reasonable mechanical strength; for example, the maximum tensile strength at break of the sulfonated polyimide copolymer with 100%（molar fraction） BAPNS is 1.35 GPa under high moisture condi- tions. The optimum concentration of BAPNS was found to be 100%（molar fraction） from the view point of proton conductivity, methanol permeability, and membrane stability.
