Abstract One promising way to store and distribute large amounts of renewable energy is water electrolysis, coupled with transport hydrogen in the gas grid storage tanks caverns. The intermittent availability renewal makes it difficult integrate established alkaline electrolysis technology. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) (PEMEC) promising, but limited by necessity use expensive platinum iridium catalysts. expected solution anion (AEM) which combines cheap abundant catalyst materials...

15, 25, and 35 μm thick meta-polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes are doped with H2SO4 tested in a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Their performances compared those of Nafion membranes. Immersed 2 M H2SO4, PBI absorbs about mol per mole repeat unit. This results low conductivity voltage efficiency (VE). In ex-situ tests, meta-PBI shows negligible crossover V3+ V4+ ions, much lower than that Nafion. is due to electrostatic repulsive forces between cations positively charged protonated...

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) has been considered as promising membrane material for all-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) due to its compact morphology that can hinder vanadium crossover. However, 2–4 mS cm−1 proton conductivity remains a challenge achieve high energy efficiency. Recently developed PBI membranes showed up 18 by pre-treatment with phosphoric acid (PA) and 56 KOH. since the operation of VRFB uses sulfuric (SA), different chemicals generates chemical wastes. Here we investigate...

Abstract Polybenzimidazole has been widely examined as a separator for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) due to its low permeability. Its conductivity can be tackled by combining 1–4 µm thin dense PBI layers with highly conductive mechanically supporting layers, either lamination or loose stacking. While gel‐PBI is very soft and conductive, the shadow effect of non‐conductive pore walls porous supports adds resistance. In this work, these issues are addressed coating 25 thick sulfonated...
