Abstract:Although the Nafion membrane has a high energy efficiency,
long
service life, and operational flexibility when applied for vanadium
redox flow battery (VRFB) applications, its applications are limited
due to its high vanadium permeability. In this study, anion exchange
membranes (AEMs) based on poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) with imidazolium
and bis-imidazolium cations were prepared and used in VRFBs. PPO with
long-pendant alkyl-side-chain bis-imidazolium cations (BImPPO) exhibits
higher conductivity than the imi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
