Abstract

The invention relates to a zwitterionic membrane used in an all-vanadium redox flow battery, which is prepared by solution casting and acidification, and the solution casting is pouring a mixed solution containing a first polymer and a second polymer into a mold curing molding, the first polymer is a polymer containing sulfonic acid groups, and the second polymer is a polymer containing N heterocyclic cations or quaternary ammonium cations. By mixing and curing polymers containing sulfonic acid groups and polymers containing N heterocyclic cations or quaternary ammonium cations, not only can effectively reduce vanadium penetration under the Donnan repulsion effect, but also can maintain good Conductivity while improving vanadium resistance performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of all-vanadium redox flow batteries, and relates to a polymer membrane, in particular to an amphoteric ion membrane used for all-vanadium redox flow batteries. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of renewable energy has promoted the development of energy storage technology. Vanadium redoxflow battery (VRB, referred to as vanadium battery) is considered to be one of the most promising battery energy storage systems because of its long cycle life, low impact on the environment, and high energy efficiency. As an essential component of VRB, the ion-exchange membrane not only prevents the positive and negative half-cell electrolytes from mixing with each other, but also provides proton channels for the positive and negative electrolytes. [0003] The proton conductivity, chemical stability and ion selectivity of the membrane will directly affect the electrochemical performance and service life of the batt...
