LI Yan, XU Tongwen. Development of ion exchange membrane for all-vanadium redox flow battery[J]. CIESC Journal, 2015, (9): 3296-3304.DOI: 10.11949/j.issn.0438-1157.20150993.
The all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) has received wide attention due to its excellent features for large-scale energy storage and stable power generation. As a key component in VRB
the ion exchange membranes (IEMs) not only separate the electrolyte
but also conduct ions to form charge-discharge circuit. In this work
an overview is presented for the various IEMs research of the vanadium redox flow battery. Relevant published work is summarized and critically discussed. The limitations and technical challenges in the ion exchange membranes are also discussed and further research opportunities are prospected.
