Customer ServiceThe optimized c-FbSPI-60 membrane with a DS of 60 % showed the highest vanadium ion resistance and ion selectivity, leading to a lower self-discharge speed and higher CE (97–99.5 % vs. 93.7–97.9 %), EE (68.2–75.1 % vs. 66.1–73.0 %) and capacity retention (50.5–55.1 % vs. 20.6–40.2 %) comparing to that of N115 membrane at
Customer ServiceExposure of the polymeric membrane to the highly oxidative and acidic environment of the vanadium electrolyte can result in membrane deterioration. Furthermore, poor membrane selectivity towards vanadium permeability can lead to faster discharge times of the battery. These areas seek room for improvement to increase battery lifetime.
As mentioned earlier, the penetration of vanadium ions through the membrane can trigger side reactions, resulting in decreased CE and a corresponding reduction in the cell's capacity. While the capacity loss per cycle may be minor, the cumulative irreversible capacity loss is significant, which can ultimately result in failure of VRFB.
However, they suffer from the cross-mixing of vanadium ions. The membrane has the important task to transfer the charge balancing species between the half cells, at the same time to be selective enough to separate Vanadium species, where their mixing leads to auto battery discharge [75, 113].
When the vanadium battery is charged, the VO 2 + ions in the positive half cell are converted to VO 2+ ions when electrons are removed from the positive terminal of the battery. Similarly in the negative half cell, electrons are introduced converting the V 3 + ions into V 2 +. During discharge this process is reversed.
Also, the electrolyte utilization increases from 54.1% to 68.4%, even at a high current density of 240 mA•cm −2 . Moreover, the durability of the hybrid VANADion membrane in multiple charge/discharge cycling was shown to be similar to that of Nafion 115 and VANADion over the 80–240 mA•cm −2 current density range .
The modified membrane obtained a reduced vanadium ion permeability at 23.6 % due to the successful filling of polar clusters with amino-SiO 2 nanoparticles as a result of a strong electrostatic attraction between the sulfonic acid groups of Nafion and the ammonia groups of amino-SiO 2.
