제목 A hydrocarbon/Nafion bilayer membrane with a mechanical nano-fastener for vanadium redox flow batteries
초록 Hydrocarbon (HC) membranes have not been successfully employed for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) due to their severe chemical degradation by highly oxidative VO2+ ion in the positive electrolyte. Protective coating of stable Nafion ionomer on HC membranes can retard the degradation, but achieving strong interfacial adhesion of the two layers without losing proton conductivity presents a challenge. Here, we report a SPAES/Nafion bilayer membrane (S/N membrane), the interface of which is mechanically fastened by a three-dimensionally interlocked interfacial layer (3-D IIL). The 3-D IIL, which features a ball and socket joint structure, strongly binds the two chemically dissimilar membranes and thus does not generate additional interfacial resistance. As a result, the VRFB with the S/N membrane achieves higher coulombic and energy efficiencies and longer cycling durability than that with Nafion 115.
