Low-cost wire-electrospun sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)/poly (vinylidene fluoride) blend membranes for hydrogen-bromine flow batteries

Sanaz Abbasi et al.

Summary: In this study, cost-effective dense membranes for hydrogen-bromine flow batteries were developed by blending proton-conductive sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) with inert poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to improve ionic conductivity and bromine diffusion properties. The use of wire-electrospinning enhanced the performance of the membranes, but the decreased thickness and insufficient stability of the membrane containing 80/20 SPEEK/PVDF led to rapid decay in cycling performance. This research promotes a long-term comparison study between the low-cost wire-electrospun SPEEK/PVDF blend membranes and typically used PFSA membranes for HBFB performance.
