Abstract
In order to further decrease the cost and enhance the durability of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) membrane for vanadium redox flow battery, a super thin (40 μm) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/SPEEK (PS) membrane is prepared. The physico-chemical properties and single cell performance of PS membranes prepared with different casting solvents including NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone), DMF (N,N′-dimethylformamide), and DMAc (N,N′-dimethylacetamide) have been investigated. Results show that the energy efficiency of VRB with PS/DMF can reach up to 91.2% at the current density of 40 mA cm-2, which is 11.1% and 6.4% higher than that of the commercial Nafion 212 and pristine SPEEK membrane, respectively. In addition, charge-discharge test over 150 times proves that the PS/DMF membrane possesses high stability and thus it is suitable for VRB application.
