Application of the commercial ion exchange membranes in the all-vanadium redox flow battery

Abstract Three commercial anion exchange membranes and two commercial cation exchange membranes were tested to use as a separator in the all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Membrane properties such as an ionic conductivity and a permeability of each vanadium ion were evaluated. Ionic conductivities decreased in the order: Nafion117 ≈ APS > NEPEM115 > FAP-PP-475 > FAP-PE-420. An anion exchange membrane had a low permeability of each vanadium ion compared to a cation exchange membrane. Energy efficiencies of VRFB using the commercial ion exchanges membrane had almost the same value in the range of 76.0–78.7%.
