An Advanced Composite Membrane for the All-Vanadium Redox Flow Battery
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are a promising technology for grid scale stationary energy storage to complement renewable energy systems. These batteries have a relatively low energy density; however, they offer important advantages, including: long life-time; decoupled energy (arbitrarily large electrolyte volume) and power (electrode area); high round-trip efficiency; scalability and design flexibility; fast response; and low environmental impacts. These advantages make them superior to many energy storage technologies for stationary applications [1-4]. Among the various types of RFBs, vanadium RFBs (VRFBs) are an emerging technology for grid scale energy storage and the integration of renewable energy generation [5]. The membrane is a key component of a VRFB that separates the two half-cell electrolytes and prevents cross-mixing, while allowing the transport of ions during charge-discharge cycles [6]. The VRFB membrane should exhibit low vanadium ion permeability to minimize self-discharge, low cost, and long‐term chemical stability under normal operating conditions. A high proton conductivity and low vanadium ion crossover are known to improve the efficiency of VRFBs [6-7]. In this study, we present a novel composite Nafion based membrane that results in a significant increase in the VRFB performance. The composite membrane has been characterized for its chemical, structural, and thermal properties using appropriate analytical techniques. The battery performance was evaluated in a flow cell using a ‘zero-gap’ design with an electrode area of 5 cm2. The electrolytic solution, 1.6 M VOSO4 in 3 M H2SO4, was circulated through the cell. Thermally treated carbon papers were used as the cathode and anode electrodes. For charge-discharge experiments, a constant current density (10 to 80 mA cm−2) was applied with upper and lower voltage cut-offs of 1.65 and 0.8 V, respectively. The stability of the battery using the composite membrane was evaluated over 100 cycles. Figures 1 and 2 show the energy efficiency and capacity retention during 100 charge-discharge cycles. The results reveal that the energy efficiency was improved from 51% to 63% by using the composite membrane. In addition, the charge-discharge capacity and capacity retention improved by around 200% and 25%, respectively. This improvement can be attributed to a higher proton conductivity and lower vanadium permeability of the composite membrane. References: [1] M. Skyllas-Kazacos, L. Cao, M. Kazacos, N. Kausar, A.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
