| Abstract: | 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. |
