A novel hybrid polymer membrane based on an ionic metal-organic framework (IMOF) has been synthesized and shown outstanding performance in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), making it a promising candidate for the storage of renewable energy.
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are promising candidates for the storage of renewable energy, and their performance and long-term durability depend on a core component: stable ion exchange membrane. We report the novel synthesis of a positively charged metal-organic framework (Cd-MOF, here designated as an ionic metal-organic framework (IMOF))-based hybrid polymer membrane with a functionalized backbone. The prepared structurally designed IMOF with fixed positive charges participates in electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions with quaternized poly(2,6-dimethyl phenylene oxide) (QPM) to fabricate an IMOF@QPM membrane. A single-cell VRFB with the IMOF@QPM membrane exhibits outstanding performance, with a coulombic efficiency (CE) of 98.0%, a voltage efficiency (VE) of 91.0%, and an energy efficiency (EE) of 85.3% at 100.0 mA cm(-2). Furthermore, the IMOF@QPM membrane maintains a discharge capacity of similar to 96.0% for up to 800 cycles, which surpasses the performance of commercial Nafion 117 (similar to 76.2% up to 400 cycles) at 100.0 mA cm(-2). These observations are attributed to the rationally designed architecture of the IMOF@QPM membrane as a preeminent vanadium ion barrier, with 2.32 x 10(-7) cm(2) min(-1) permeability, 12.00 x 10(-2) S cm(-1) conductivity, and 5.2 x 10(5) S min cm(-2) ion selectivity along with good stability, showing overwhelming advantages over the Nafion (R) 117 membrane. The reported ultra-robust and high-performance IMOF-based super-cationic membrane may also find potential applications in water treatment and energy conversion devices.
